My husband brought me a Lebanese spicy bread, and I have no idea how many calories it has, nor what the name of such a thing is. It looks like a lahmacun (Turkish pizza) and is about 200 grams. The topping is tomato sauce, chili peppers, something zingy and maybe tiny pieces of red bell peppers. It doesn't taste fatty and also doesn't soak the bag after a while of laying in the kitchen. The receipt just says Spicy Lebanese Bread. Can anyone help?

    Is it somewhat like this: http://free-stock-illustration.com/zaatar+recipe+manakish?image=1315924871 ( Manakish Zaatar And Kishk)
    Use calories you can find for Lahmacun.

    Did the topping have nuts in it? Could be muhhamarra. If not, maybe lahm bi ajeem. It's similar to lahmacun.

    Not quite. There are quite big chili and I think bell pepper chunks on it, and certainly no cheese. Lahmacuhn I'd say has more calories due to the minced meat and more fat. Or it's how colours are displayed on my monitor, and the red one comes close.

    No, neither. No meat, no nuts, just vegetarian red things. And it's quite spicy.

    What you describe sounds taste-y. I want to find some in my area. :)

    It's really juicy! I love it. Ok, the leftover is now standing about for nearly 4 hours, and there's some minor soaking of the paper tray, probably mostly from the red topping. It's really not very fatty.
