Laham bil ajine (Lebanese pizza)

Not quite the Italian type of pizza as it has no cheese and is more of an open pie. This is a Lebanese recipe, but similar versions are found in Turkey, Syria and Egypt.

Chef's notes

I used one Scotch bonnet chilli in this recipe, but you can use whichever sort you can get. Obviously add more, depending on strength.
