Lamajoun (Armenian Pizza) Recipe

[Guest guest]

This is a food that I adore and make often and always have on

hand...It is normally made with lamb,veal, and beef...but we won't go

there. Here is my vegetarian version. It's time consuming but worth

every minute. This mixture can be used as a dip, or can be thinned

for a pasta sauce. ***This does not taste like pizza or spagetti

sauce. It is very eastern in taste. I hope you enjoy this as much as

I do. Jill

 

 

 

Lamajoun

 

1 Jar (16oz) Roasted Red Bell Peppers (drianed) {if you roast your

own, use 2 large red bell peppers}

 

1 large white or yellow onion

 

1 large or 2 small eggplants, diced

 

2 portabella mushrooms (chopped)

 

5 garlic cloves

 

******

 

3 T oil of choice

 

1 Can (28oz) Diced Tomatoes (UNdrained)

 

3 T fresh parsley

 

1 T dried oregano

 

2 t cummin

 

1 t paprika

 

1 bayleaf

 

1/2 t red pepper flakes (or to taste)

 

1 T black pepper

 

2 T sea salt

 

1 1/2 t ground cinnamon

 

 

Whole Wheat Tortillas (4-8 " )

Parchment Paper

Freezer Paper or plastic wrap

 

 

Combine peppers, onions, eggplant, mushrooms, and garlic in a food

processor and pulse till fine. In a large skillet, heat the oil, add

the veggie mixture and cook on MED/HIGH heat till very soft. Add

canned tomatoes, and spices. Cook on LOW/MED heat, stirring often,

till mixture is the consistency of a paste. Turn off heat and let

cool.

 

PREPARING:

 

Heat oven to 400 and spread the mixture onto a torilla, leaving 1/2

inch on the outside, just like a pizza. The topping should be thin.

Place on a baking sheet and bake until desired crispness. (I like

mine just warm enough to fold or roll up)

 

TO FREEZE:

Place a tortilla onto a piece of parchment paper and spread a thin

layer of the mixture onto the torilla, leaving 1/2 " edge. Place

another piece of parchment paper on top and continue to layer. Fold

the stack (6 or so) up in freezer paper and place into a large

freezer bag. Freeze. Remove singly when you want a snack or a full

meal.

Indeed this food is soooo yummy. My wife and I recently tried it in Vancouver, Canada and we both fell in love with it. My wife liked the cheese version when I am amazed by the lamajoun.
