# Ingredients:

03 -
2 tsp tomato paste
04 -
1 tsp Baharat spice mix (Lebanese 7 spice)
05 -
1/2 tsp sweet paprika (or smoked paprika)
06 -
1 garlic clove, crushed
07 -
1/4 tsp cooking salt (or half the amount of table salt)
08 -
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley or cilantro (optional, or substitute with 1 tsp dried oregano)
09 -
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
→ Essential Toppings
10 -
Extra virgin olive oil
11 -
2 tbsp Danish feta or goat cheese, crumbled (or regular feta)
→ Optional Toppings
12 -
Lemon juice, lightly drizzled
13 -
Dried chili flakes or red pepper flakes
14 -
1 tbsp toasted pine nuts, roughly chopped (or substitute with pistachios, almonds, sesame seeds)
15 -
1 tsp finely chopped parsley or cilantro
# Instructions:
01 -
Trim the Lebanese bread if needed to fit into a 30cm/12-inch non-stick pan, cutting only one side to prevent separation.
02 -
Mix all the Chicken Spread ingredients in a bowl. Spread the mixture thinly and evenly across one side of the bread.
03 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan over high heat. Place the bread meat-side down and cook for 90 seconds, pressing lightly to promote browning. The meat will adhere to the bread.
04 -
Flip the bread with tongs to cook the bread side for another 90 seconds until golden and crispy. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.
05 -
Transfer the bread to a cutting board. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and drizzle with olive oil. Add any optional toppings of choice, then cut into 8 slices and serve.
# Notes:
01 -
Use high heat for crispier bread, but monitor carefully to avoid burning.
02 -
Baharat spice blends are readily available, but you can make your own mix at home for a fresher flavor.
