1

In a food processor, pulse the onion, garlic, and parsley until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and mix with the minced lamb. Add the red pepper paste, spices, and salt, then mix thoroughly to combine.
2

Split the Lebanese bread into two layers. Spread the kafta mixture evenly over one layer like a pizza topping. Top with the second layer to enclose the filling, creating a stuffed flatbread. Brush with olive oil and place on a tray lined with oiled baking paper.

Cut the stuffed bread into 4 equal portions and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
