Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Beef:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Whipped Garlic Hot Honey Feta:

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1–2 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For the Flatbread and Toppings:

  • 4–6 flatbreads
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks to ensure an even texture.
  3. Season the Meat: Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, tomato paste, and lemon juice. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Prepare Whipped Feta: In a bowl or food processor, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Warm Flatbreads: Heat flatbreads gently in a dry skillet or oven until soft and slightly toasted for the best texture.
  6. Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the whipped garlic hot honey feta over each warm flatbread.
  7. Add Toppings: Top the spread with the cooked spiced ground beef mixture followed by fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the flatbreads and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce in the whipped feta to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Flatbreads can be substituted with pita bread or naan for variation.
  • For a lighter option, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • To make it vegetarian, swap the ground beef for spiced cooked lentils or mushrooms.
  • Store leftover whipped feta separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
