Ingredients

• Gluten-free pizza base - 1 large (about 30 cm diameter)
• Ground lamb - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Red onion - 1 small, finely sliced
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced red onion, sautéing until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the diced red bell pepper, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper is tender.

7. Top the pizza with halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
