This pizza requires no dough. Use regular pita or lavash as a base, top with seared ground beef, onions, and bell peppers, and bake for a few minutes to warm through. Serve with a light salad of lettuce, pickled beets, and cucumber. A great idea for a quick, delicious midweek dinner!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 200°C.
  2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until brick-red, 1 minute.

  3. Add the beef, 2 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup yogurt and 2 teaspoons vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste and transfer to a bowl.
  4. Wipe out the pan and return to medium heat. Brush the pita with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then lightly toast in the pan, about 45 seconds per side.
  5. Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and spread the meat evenly over it. Place in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the lettuce, pickled beets, and cucumber and toss to combine.
  6. Slice the pizza and serve with salad.
