Flatbreads are covered with a smooth layer of hummus and topped with seasoned beef mince and a refreshing salad. Mini in size but big in flavour, these treats are bound to be a family favourite.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Finely chop the red onion. Dice the tomato. Roughly chop the parsley leaves.
Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the olive oil and 1/2 the red onion to the same medium frying pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the za’atar and stir through. Add the beef mince and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until browned.
Arrange the wholemeal flatbreads on the prepared oven tray. Spread the hummus over the flatbreads and top with the za’atar beef mince. Sprinkle over the toasted pine nuts. Bake the mini pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
While the mini pizzas are cooking, make-pretty your cucumbers. Take a fork and run it down the length of the cucumber, scoring lines with the fork’s prongs until the cucumber is stripy all over. Slice into 5 mm circles. Combine the remaining red onion, cucumber, tomato and parsley in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss until well combined.
Divide the Turkish beef mini pizzas between plates and top each one with a spoonful of salad. Alternatively, serve the salad on the side if you prefer.
