I can't recall why I made marinara, perhaps it was in anticipation of a Wegman's order that was scheduled to arrive this day! I was browsing through the fridge and decided to use the half onions, shredded carrots, dying celery and canned tomatoes and make a marinara sauce that could stand up to pizza or pasta. I followed up this by making Turkish pizza, lahmacun. A new taste treat for me.
Lahmacun is easy and very tasty. The dough was very forgiving and crisped up nicely on a pizza stone. The dough was rolled very thin, perhaps too thin as it made it very difficult to manipulate on a peel and on the stone. Had to resort to parchment paper and a giant spatula.

I made these with lamb as I had ordered 2 lbs of ground lamb earlier and needed to use it up. I didn't have any onions so I cut some chives from the 2 bunches that survived the winter on the terrace. It was worthy of additional attempts at making the dough behave better.
