Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a large pan then fry the onion, mince and cinnamon over a high heat for 5 mins until the mince is browned. Take off the heat, season, then stir in the walnuts and mint.
  2. Prepare the pizza mix according to pack instructions, but ignore the rising stage. Divide into 4 and pat into small circles on a baking sheet. Spoon the mince mixture over one half of each circle, place 2 tomato slices on top, then fold the dough over. Press the edges to seal, slash the top 3 times then bake for 10-15 mins, until the dough is golden and cooked through. Serve with tzatziki and a green salad.

Taste team comment

'These pizza pies were popular with everyone. We made two versions - one with nuts, one without - and found the nuts gave the mince a great texture.'

    Couldn't get the Pizza Mix so used shortcrust pastry instead. Really great. Froze extra pies before the final cooking stage.
