Sfiha
Sfiha
Sfiha is a Middle Eastern dish is a type of open-faced meat pie with a thin and crispy dough as the base. The topping is made with a flavorful mixture of ground meat (usually lamb or beef), onions, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, cinnamon, and allspice. It’s then baked to perfection. Sfiha is often served as an appetizer or as part of a meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb or beef
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes seeded and diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the flavors meld together.
- While the meat mixture is cooking, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Cut it into 4 equal-sized pieces.
- Spoon the meat mixture onto each piece of dough, spreading it out evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Transfer the prepared Sfiha onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the Sfiha from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
