SAM: Yes, long time no see:) Hope you are fine. I will be heading over to your blog soon. Armenians make lahmajoon too, but as far as I know it is originally Turkish. Greek yogurt would go great with it!

Hi Fardia! Long time no see… I love Lahmajoon, I’ve been eating it for years. Only, my understanding was that it is originally an Armenian dish. I have been buying them ready made from a little Armenian bakery for going on 15 years now. Of course, much of the cuisine of Anatolia is common to all the peoples who live in the region, so I’m not surprised. I like Lahmajun a great deal, especially with some thick Greek yogurt, or even, tzatziki over top. Yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Farida, my mouth is watering for some lahmacun now. It’s one of my favorite foods and especially with ayran. By the way, your lahmacun looks very similar to lahmacun in Turkey. Great job!

ZERRIN: Lahmacun is one of my favorite snacks too. I so wish they had a good lahmacun place where we live - I mean real lahmacun out of the oven, with yogurt, I don’t need anything else there:)

CAROLYN: That must be a Greek place, right? I haven’t been to that place., but will surely check it out when we go to Laguna. That lamb you have tried must be gyro on pita with yogurt. I love it too!

When I saw the pix of the lamb, I was reminded of a meal I’ve had twice in recent weeks (and haven’t written it up on my blog yet) at Sapphire, in Laguna. The chef has a souvlaki on the lunch menu. It’s just SO SO good. I can’t seem to order anything else but that because the taste sends me. I know it’s not the same thing as lahmounjon (spelling?) which I order sometimes at Zov’s Bistro in Tustin, when it’s on the menu. But it’s similar to it since it’s pita bread, slathered with some kind of yogurt-cheese mixture, then the cooked ground lamb, then topped with a garlicky lemony green salad. I have no idea what Sapphire’s chef does to the lamb - it may be nothing much, since I haven’t observed anything else in it except the ground meat. Anyway, you might want to zip down there one day and try it. They have a lovely patio, with a view of PCH and the ocean, that’s just delightful.
