Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 1 large ball (about 250g)
• Ground lamb - 200g
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150g, halved

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced red onion, sautéing until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, seasoning with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
4. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
5. Spread the cooked lamb mixture evenly over the pizza dough, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives.
6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is slightly melted.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
