Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place 1 large red bell pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, turning once, until the skin blisters and chars; transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes. Peel and slice the pepper into strips.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, and 1 lb ground lamb, cooking for 8-10 minutes until browned and fragrant. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Roll out 1 lb flatbread dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch oval. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the spiced lamb evenly over the dough, then top with the roasted red pepper strips.
Step 4: Drizzle the flatbread with 1 tbsp olive oil and bake in the 450°F oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Step 5: Remove from oven and dollop 1/2 cup plain yogurt over the top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
