Sfiha (Arabic: صفيحة, also lahm bi-`ajĩn (لحم بعجين), "meat with dough"; lahmacun in Turkish) are meat pies which originated in Syria, but are also made in countries like Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq[1]. They are also very popular in Brazil due to the presence of a large Syrian-Lebanese 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.
