Step 1
For the spicy lamb topping, heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, capsicum and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Set aside to cool. Add the mince, tomato, parsley, tomato paste, allspice, chilli and cinnamon. Season well. Use your hands to knead to combine.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Use a large serrated knife to carefully slice the pides in half horizontally. Use a spatula to firmly spread the lamb mixture over both cut sides of 1 split pide to create even layers.
-
Step 3
For the three-cheese topping, combine the egg and mozzarella in a bowl. Spread the mixture over both cut sides of the remaining pide. Top with haloumi and crumble over feta.

Step 4
Transfer pides to the prepared trays. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Top the lamb pide with yoghurt. Sprinkle rocket and parsley over pides. Serve with lemon wedges.
