English term or phrase: Arab-style pizza?

Hi,

I'm afraid I'm a bit confused here. Yesterday my sister cooked me something she described as “lahma bi ajeen” (she doesn't speak Arabic), but which I knew from Turkey as “lahm majun” (literally “meat paste”) or rather, as one word, "lahmajun". However, I can tell you that it was much the same as a pizza, but with a mainly meaty mixture on top. Please write the term in Arabic writing.

All the best,

Simon
