Sfiha

Sfiha (Template:Lang-ar), also lahm bi'ajīn (Template:Lang-ar), "meat with dough" (lahmacun in Turkish) and 'Arab pizza', is a pizza-like dish eaten in the Levant. They are also very popular in Brazil and Argentina due to the presence of a large Levantine community.

Traditionally made with ground mutton rather than the more modern addition of lamb, or beef in Brazil, they are "open faced" meat pies with no top dough (compare to similar meat pies like the North American pastie).

Traditionally, Sfiha were much like dolma; simply ground lamb, lightly spiced, wrapped in brined grape leaves.
