Moroccan Lamb and Zucchini Pide

these moroccan pides are a fabulous twist on the traditional pizza. lamb and pine nuts infused with morrocan flavours and zesty marinated zucchini are encased by a crisp yet soft pide casing. they look amazing and taste even better and are absolutely perfect for any dinner party. they are also brilliantly complemented by tzatziki which you can purchase or make your own by following my tzatziki recipe (see recipe 281724).
