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 ...

Mediterranean Courgette, Goat Cheese & Mint Tart

Growing up, whenever my mum made stuffed courgettes (zucchini) , she never let anything go to waste. After scooping out the cores, she would turn them into something just as delicious, like this simple yet flavourful tart. It always felt like a little extra treat, made with love and care. Now, every time I make this recipe, it takes me right back to those comforting family meals. It’s the kind of dish that feels special yet effortless, perfect for a relaxed picnic on the beach, a lazy lunch in the garden, or a cosy meal at home. The courgettes turn beautifully soft and sweet, pairing perfectly with tangy goat cheese and rich black olive tapenade. And with flaky puff pastry as the base, it’s one of those meals that looks impressive but couldn’t be easier to make. I hope it brings you as much comfort and joy as it brings me! Ingredients: 2 cups of courgette cores (scooped out) or 3 courgettes, trimmed, peeled, and roughly chopped. 1 onion, chopped 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 heaped tsp...

Baked Kofta with Vegetables

After a long day of fasting from sunrise to sunset, there’s nothing more comforting than a homemade meal that brings everyone together. Kofta bi Seniyah; which translates to “Kofta in the pan” is one of those dishes that fills the house with warmth and mouth-watering aromas. Juicy kofta patties, roasted golden potatoes, sweet tomatoes, onions, and peppers all simmer in a rich, flavourful tomato sauce. It’s hearty, nostalgic, and best enjoyed with rice or fresh pita bread! Ingredients For the Kofta: Plant-based mince beef (or mince beef) ½ onion, grated ¼ cup breadcrumbs (I prefer to use Sainsbury's Cranberry, Orange & Chestnut Stuffing for added flavour) 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander For the Vegetables & Sauce: 3 potatoes, peeled & sliced into ¼-inch rounds 3 bell peppers, sliced 2 onions, sliced 3 tomatoes, sliced 3 tbsp tomato paste 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses 2½ cups vegetable broth 1 tsp salt ½ tsp black pepp...
