Moroccan Lamb and Zucchini Pide image

These Moroccan Pides are a fabulous twist on the traditional pizza. Lamb and pine nuts infused with Morrocan flavours and zesty marinated zucchini are encased by a crisp yet soft pide casing. They look amazing and taste even better and are absolutely perfect for any dinner party. They are also brilliantly complemented by tzatziki which you can purchase or make your own by following my tzatziki recipe (see Recipe #281724).

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 Pides, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons dried yeast (I use a 7g sachet)
5 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
500 g ground lamb
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 zucchini, sliced longways in 3mm slices
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
tzatziki, to serve
fresh coriander leaves, to serve

Steps:

  • PIDE DOUGH: Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the water and oil. Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until combined and a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth. Set aside in a bowl covered with a tea towel.
  • LAMB AND ZUCCHINI TOPPING: Preheat the oven to 200°C Combine vinegar, 2 cloves of the garlic, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tsp cumin and 1/4 cup tomato paste in a small baking dish. Add zucchini and toss to coat then season with salt and pepper. Cover with alfoil then cook in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook onion, stirring for 3 minutes or until soft. Add lamb and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Add allspice, 2 tsp cumin, remaining tomato paste and 2 tbs water. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the pine nuts. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover and set aside to cool.
  • TO ASSEMBLE PIDES: Divide dough into 2 portions. Roll out 1 dough portion on a lightly floured surface to make an oval shape about 15cm wide and 30cm long. Spoon half of the lamb mixture down the centre, leaving a 4cm border at each end.
  • Lay half the zucchini slices diagonally, spaced evenly down over the mince mixture on the dough. Fold in the sides of the dough to enclose filling slightly, leaving an opening down the centre. Place on a lined baking tray. Repeat with remaining dough, lamb and zucchini.
  • Bake pides in oven at 200°C for 15 minutes or until dough is golden brown and crisp. Serve pides with tzatziki and garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

This pide was not good. The dough was dry and the filling was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pide was a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the rest of the pide was good. I think I would cook the lamb for a shorter amount of time next time.

This pide was a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using less oil next time.

I've never had pide before, but this recipe made me a fan. The lamb and zucchini filling was flavorful and the dough was soft and chewy. I will definitely be making this again.

This Moroccan lamb and zucchini pide was a hit with my family! The lamb was tender and flavorful, and the zucchini added a nice freshness. The pide dough was easy to work with and baked up perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
