What is Homemade small lahmacun?

Homemade small lahmacun is a Turkish-style thin flatbread topped with minced meat, vegetables and herbs, then baked until the edges are crisp. It is especially associated with southeastern Turkey, though versions are enjoyed across the country and in neighbouring regions. Making it at home lets you adjust the seasoning and the amount of vegetable in the topping.

In Turkey, it is commonly served hot with lemon, parsley and onion, often rolled up and eaten alongside ayran. The thin base supplies most of the carbohydrate, while the meat adds protein and the vegetables contribute some fibre. Its small size makes it handy for a lighter meal; pair it with a fresh salad if you want a more filling plate.
