1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra, to garnish
¼ cup tomato puree or paste
4 ready-made pizza bases, about 25cm diameter

Preheat oven to 250°C (230°C fan). Combine onion and oil in a small pan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until brown. Reduce heat, cook onion for a further 10 minutes until very soft. Cool.

Place pizza bases on baking trays. Divide raw lamb mixture into 4 portions, spread onto pizza bases. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake for about 6 minutes, or until lamb is brown and sizzling.
