Ah, the Mediterranean! This pizza is a delightful blend of flavors that will transport you straight to a sunlit terrace. With savory ground lamb and the freshness of veggies, it’s bound to be a family favorite.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade, if you prefer!)
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions (usually around 425°F or 220°C).

2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

3. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with your spoon. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

4. Roll out your pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a layer of marinara sauce over the crust.

5. Evenly distribute the cooked lamb over the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.

6. Add the spinach, red onion, and black olives on top, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over everything.

7. Bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, usually about 12-15 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
