Lahmacun is one of Turkey's best-loved street foods: a very thin, crispy flatbread spread with spiced minced meat, onion and parsley, then baked hot. People often call it Turkish pizza, but it's lighter and crispier than any pizza.
How to eat lahmacun
- Squeeze over some lemon.
- Add a little salad down the middle (a Çoban salad, £4, is perfect).
- Roll it up and eat it with your hands.
It's light enough to have as a starter, or order two or three as a meal. It's also great with a glass of ayran (£2.60), the chilled, lightly salted yoghurt drink.
