    Quick fix: Pizza gets Armenian spin
    Recipe: Lahmajoun

    A stop at a Middle Eastern bakery and a stack of freshly baked pitas
    rekindled my appetite for lahmajoun, a dish I learned to make from
    Armenian-American friends in Detroit. It's a terrific solution for
    the dinner rush. I'm told that lahmajoun (la-ma-ZHOON) translates
    from Arabic to ``meat dough,'' but if you think of it as individual
    pizzas, you would be closer to the mark. If you can find za'atar
    (sometimes spelled zahtar), the Middle Eastern blend of sumac,
    oregano and sesame seeds, use that instead of the oregano. If you
    wish, substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb. Serve lahmajoun
    with a salad of chopped cucumbers, onions and tomatoes.
