Sfeeha... Syrian Meat Pizzas

Some dishes just feel like home, and for me, Sfeeha is one of them. It's my husband’s favourite dish, and my dad loved it just as much before him. I still remember watching my dad carefully prepare the meat filling before taking it to the local baker, who would turn it into the fluffiest mini thin pizzas that melted in your mouth. Every bite of Sfeeha brings back those warm, nostalgic memories... it’s more than just food; it’s a family tradition.

This is my quick and easy twist on it! Instead of traditional meat, I use Isn't Beef plant-based mince, and for extra convenience, I swap out the dough for mini tortilla wraps. It’s a simple shortcut, but it still delivers all the comforting flavours I grew up with!

Ingredients for the Meat Filling:

Mini tortilla wraps (or thin flatbreads)
1 large onion, grated
THIS Isn't Beef plant-based mince 250g (or mince beef)
2 tomatoes, grated
1 pepper, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp tahini
½ tbsp pomegranate molasses
1 tsp 7 mixed spices
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Optional: Chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the grated onion, plant-based mince, grated tomatoes, grated pepper, crushed garlic, tahini, pomegranate molasses, spices, and chopped parsley. Stir everything together until it’s all well combined and smooth.

Step 2: Drain Excess Liquid

Place the mixture in a strainer for a few minutes to remove any excess moisture. This helps keep your pies from getting soggy!

Step 3: Assemble the Pies

Lay out your mini tortilla wraps (or flatbreads) and spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each. Spread it out evenly.

Step 4: Bake

Arrange the pies on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the filling is cooked through.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle the pies with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for a burst of colour and flavour. Serve these delicious mini pizzas with a side of refreshing tzatziki.

These little pies are perfect for bringing back memories and sharing with loved ones. They’re easy to make, comforting, and packed with flavour... hope you enjoy them just as much as we do!

Welcome to My Journey: Finding Strength Through Sharing

Hey there, and welcome to My World My Life , my little corner of the internet. After what felt like an endless process, I’ve finally moved all my old blog posts from their outdated home to this fresh new space. It wasn’t easy, balancing this with treatment, work, and family life, but with a little help from my family, I made sure every post made it over intact. No missing entries, no broken links (because let’s be honest, that totally would have happened). Now that everything is in place, I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. This blog isn’t just about sharing my journey; it’s about creating a space where we can connect, support one another, and navigate life’s unexpected twists together. One of those twists came in the form of breast cancer. One moment, I was going about my usual routine, and the next, I was sitting in a doctor’s office, hearing words that didn’t feel real. In an instant, my world flipped upside down. My days became a whirlwind of appointments, treatments, and ...

Redefining Life After Cancer: My Journey to a New Normal

In 2023, my world - and my family’s - was completely turned upside down with my breast cancer diagnosis. It was the year my biggest dream came true when we bought our house. And it was the year my worst nightmare became reality when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two life-altering events, colliding at the same time. But it wasn’t just life that changed... I will never return to the person I was before cancer. Sometime I grieve that version of me, the one who lived without this constant awareness of mortality. I thought I understood that life was finite, but there’s a difference between knowing it in theory and feeling it in your bones every day. The fear of recurrence or the cancer spreading isn’t just an abstract worry; it’s a shadow that lingers, a rational dread because cancer doesn’t play by the rules. It can return or spread at any time. And that reality is something I have to learn to live with. The idea of a “happily ever after” shattered in an instant. Moving into our new ...

Navigating Work and Life While Managing Breast Cancer

When cancer enters your life, it feels like a sudden storm, disrupting every aspect of your existence with its demands and emotional toll. Yet, despite the overwhelming nature of such a diagnosis, it doesn't have to completely define your existence. Maintaining some semblance of normal life, be it through work, relationships, or hobbies, can be a source of strength and continuity. However, everyone's experience with cancer is uniquely theirs. While some might find their daily routines and priorities wholly transformed, others, like myself, strive to weave treatment into an existing tapestry of responsibilities. The role of a support system, mental health resources, and personal perspective cannot be understated in navigating these challenges. My own journey took a dramatic turn right before my surgery for breast cancer, requiring me to step back from a demanding job as Head of Delivery at the Greater London Authority. It wasn't just about taking time off; my role demanded a...
