Lahmahjoon (Armenian Pizza)
Armenian Pizza (Lahmahjoon)
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground lamb
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 pita breads, or fluffy tortillas
Directions
- Place ground lamb in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and break into small pieces until mostly browned. Drain any excess grease. Add the onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent. Stir in diced tomatoes and tomato paste, then season with parsley, basil, mint, cumin, and if using, cayenne. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and refrigerate overnight to blend the flavors.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Distribute the lamb mixture evenly over the tortillas, and spread out to the edges. Place the tortillas onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven and place the lahmahjoons onto a large piece of aluminum foil so that two of them are meat side to meat side, then stack the pairs together, and bring the foil up over the top to keep warm. These can be served hot or cold. Cut into small wedges.

Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes
Spiced Harvest Maple Cake with Maple Frosting
Prep Time: 10 Min | Total Time: 2 Hr | Serving Size: 10-12
Ingredients:
3/4 cup (175 mL) apple juice or cider, unsweetened
1/2 cup(125 mL) each golden raisins, dried cranberries, thinly sliced dried apricots
1 1/4 tsp (6 mL) cinnamon
1 pkg (510 g) Betty Crocker* Super Moist White, French Vanilla or Golden Cake Mix
1 cup (250 mL) milk
1/3 cup (75 mL) vegetable oil
1/4 cup (50 mL) pure maple syrup or pancake syrup
3 eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger
1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground allspice
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground cloves
2 tubs (450 g) Betty Crocker* Whipped Fluffy White or Creamy Deluxe Vanilla Frosting
2 tbsp (25 mL) pure maple syrup or pancake syrup, divided
Method:
- Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease or spray two 9–inch (23 cm) round pans.
- Combine apple juice or cider, raisins, cranberries, apricots and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Beat cake mix, water or milk, oil, eggs, maple syrup, and spices in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for approximately 23 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
- Stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup into each frosting tub.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (125 mL) of fruit mixture for garnish. Place one cake layer, top side down, on plate and spread approximately 1/2 cup (125 mL) frosting over top. Spread remaining fruit mixture on top of icing, leaving about a 1/4-inch (6 mm) border.
- Place second cake layer top side up on fruit mixture, pressing down gently. Frost side of cake first with very thin coat to seal in crumbs.
- Spread additional frosting on side using upward strokes. Spread remaining frosting over top of cake, making attractive swirls or leaving smooth for decorating.
- Garnish outer edge of cake with reserved fruit mixture.
