Sfiha
"Sfiha" ( _ar. صفيحة), also "lahm bi-`ajĩn" ( _ar. لحم بعجين), "meat with dough" (lahmacun in Turkish) and 'Arab pizza', are meat pies eaten in countries like Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. They are also very popular in Brazil due to the presence of a large Levantine community.
Traditionally made with ground mutton rather than the more modern addition of lamb. They are "open faced" meat pies with no top dough (compare to similar meat pies like the North American pastie).
Traditionally, Sfiha were much like dolmades; simply ground lamb, lightly spiced, wrapped in brined grape leaves.
