Ingredients

2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) divided
1 Onion half of the onion should be puréed using a food processor/box grater, and the other half should be chopped
½ pound Ground Beef
½ tablespoon Sea Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
½ teaspoon Turmeric
3 oz Tomato Paste ½ can
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
½ a whole Sangak Bread or whatever bread/dough/flatbread/pizza crust you like
2 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces Fresh Mozzarella thinly sliced (can also substitute regular mozzarella)
5 Garlic Cloves roughly chopped or sliced into fourths
1 tablespoon Diced Hatch Green Chiles (or thinly sliced jalapeno, thai chile pepper, or any other pepper) you can buy diced hatch green chiles in a small can
Optional: freshly grated Parmesan Can also add Red Chili Flakes, and chopped Parsley (or Cilantro if you prefer) to top it off

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Add two tablespoons ghee to a nonstick pan and add the chopped onion to it over med-high heat.
Using a wooden spatula, mix it around occasionally to keep from burning. You want the onion to fry and get golden-brown. It may take about 15 minutes.
Remove fried onion to a plate and place the pan back on heat.
Add beef, pureéd onion, salt, pepper, and turmeric.
Using the same spatula, incorporate together very well and break it up into small pieces.
Once all liquid evaporates, add tomato paste and fully incorporate.
Add cinnamon and mix in well.
Remove pan from heat.
Place the sangak bread (or whatever crust you’re using) onto the back of an upside down cookie sheet.
Drizzle about two tablespoons of olive oil all over the sangak bread.
Top with mozzarella, then garlic, and green chiles.
Place in oven until cheese has melted and started to bubble (approximately 15 minutes).
Remove from oven and top with parmesan, chili flakes, and chopped parsley (or cilantro) before slicing into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: This recipe makes enough for half of a whole length of sangak bread. To use all the bread, just double all the ingredients to make two pizzas. This will easily serve 5-6 hungry people and is so easy to assemble. Half of a sangak bread is the size of 1 large pizza.
