- 1 1/2 c. chopped onion
- 1 lg. garlic minced
- 1 T. fresh oregano
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (12-inch) thin Boboli pizza crust
- 4 tsp, olive oil divided
- 1 (10 oz.) cont. hummus or homemade

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground lamb, onions and garlic until meat is browned. Drain off excess fat. Stir in oregano, salt and black pepper.
- Place pizza crust on a baking sheet; brush with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Spread with hummus and top with cooked lamb mixture.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edge of crust is light brown (for a crisper crust, bake the pizza directly on the middle oven rack).
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 teaspoons olive oil, vinegar, and mustard; season to taste with additional salt and black pepper. Add lettuce and tomatoes; toss to coat.
- Pile the salad on top of pizza and sprinkle with feta cheese. Top with pepperoncini peppers if desired.
Would make again. Quick tasty recipe that reminded me of a Greek gyro. Store was out of ground lamb but they had lamb sausage.
