    This is one of my favorites when ordering middle eastern. Who would have thought I could make it at home? I only had 80/20 beef so I drained some of the fat. I thought it was an interesting method of cooking the beef. I’m curious as to the benefits vs just breaking it up and seasoning as it starts to brown? It tasted great! I also added the pine nuts becuase I had them. Really good!

    That’s our dinner tonight, thank you! 🙂 My mother-in-law makes a similar dish — hummus, spiced lamb or beef, and toasted almonds or pine nuts for the topping. I think feta cheese will add an interesting flavor.

    I never would have thought of this recipe but I am glad someone did. How simple and not terribly unhealthy.
