Lahmacun with salad topping

Lahmacun (Turkish pronunciation: [lahmaˈdʒun]) or lahmajoun (Armenian լահմաջուն lahmaǰun or լահմաջո lahmaǰo), from Arabic: لحم بعجين‎, lahm bi'ajīn, "meat with dough", is an item of prepared food originating in the early Syrian cuisine of the Levant, consisting of a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb). Lahmacun is often served sprinkled with lemon juice and wrapped around vegetables, including pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and parsley; atypical variants may be found employing kebab meat or sauces.
