Ingredients
  

  • pizza dough or crust
  • ½ pound lean ground lamb
  • 1 shallot - minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper - or to taste (see notes)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto - (see notes)
  • ½ cup slow-roasted tomatoes - sliced (see notes)
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives - sliced
  • ¼ cup feta - crumbled

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons parmesan - grated
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • Italian parsley - finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees (425 convection). If grilling, preheat to very hot. If using pizza dough, roll out very thin, and place on a pizza stone or baking sheet. If using prepared naan or pizza crust, place on pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • In a saute pan over medium heat, break up the ground lamb.
  • When lamb begins to brown, add the shallot, garlic, crushed red pepper, and cinnamon. Continue cooking until lamb is completely cooked.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Brush with pesto. Top with lamb mixture, sliced tomatoes and kalamatas, and crumbled feta.
  • Bake pizza until pizza dough is cooked and beginning to brown. If using prepared crust, feta should be starting to brown. This takes 7-10 minutes.
  • Garnish the hot pizza with parmesan, lemon zest, and Italian parsley. Slice and enjoy!
