Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion, cook until edges soften, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in tomato paste, pomegranate molasses, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Spread each pita on the sheet pan. Spoon lamb mixture onto each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border.

  6. Step 6

    Bake until pita edges are golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes. Serve hot.
