The Middle Eastern pizza
A lahmajun -- a thin crust of bread topped by a mixture of beef, onions,
tomatoes, parsley, and spices -- is a healthy alternative to a slice of 'za,
and just as quick a fix. Middle East Lahmajun of New Jersey makes the best and
juiciest version I've tasted in this country. It's pre-baked, and only needs to
be heated for a minute or so before eating. And it's sold locally, at the
Friends Market (795 Mass Ave, Arlington) -- available here only because one of
the friends drives down to New Jersey every few weeks to buy a large quantity.
The lahmajuns are just $9 for a dozen, come with or without garlic, and can be
frozen for extended storage.
