How to Make Lahmahjoon Pizza

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound ground lamb and cook, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer the lamb mixture to a colander and drain excess fat.
  5. Wipe out the skillet.
  6. Return the lamb and shallots to the skillet. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
  7. Cook until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 3 minutes.
  8. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to coat.
  9. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  10. Preheat grill to medium-low heat.
  11. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cornmeal onto a pizza peel or large baking sheet.
  12. Roll out 1 pound pizza dough to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared peel or baking sheet, ensuring the underside is coated with cornmeal.
  13. Carefully slide the crust onto the grill rack.
  14. Close the lid and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  15. Using a large spatula, carefully flip the crust.
  16. Spread the lamb mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
  17. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup pine nuts.
  18. Close the lid and grill until the toppings are heated through and the bottom of the crust is browned, about 8 minutes.
  19. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
