Lehmajun

Lehmajun aka Armenian Pizza, made with ground beef, parsley, green bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic and seasonings is loved by everyone. If you are lucky to live near an Armenian bakery you can buy them freshly made, or buy them frozen at your specialty grocer. But trust me, there is nothing better than homemade. Instead of having a pizza party, consider a lehmajun party instead! You can eat and drink your “tahn” as the lehmajuns come out of the oven. It took me several attempts and experiments to make this, but I was finally able to master it! You will need a pizza stone to make these at home and have the oven set to it’s highest temperature of 550°. In this picture, the lehmajuns sit on a large platter over an Armenian carpet that was recently given to me by a very old friend.
