Ingredients

4 people
  • 500 gram minced beef ( or beef and lamb mixture)
  • 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
  • 15 gram finely chopped parsley
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper
  • 25 gram pine nuts
  • 4 pita bread rolls (cut into quarters)
  • Olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/392˚F (top and bottom heat).
  • In a bowl, mix the minced meat with all the spices and pine nuts.
  • Cut the pita bread rolls in half, then cut each half in half again so that you have four quarters to fill. Fill the pita bread rolls with the raw minced meat mixture.
  • Brush the bread rolls with olive oil, then fry them on both sides in a frying or grill pan until golden brown, searing the meat side.
  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Serve with a tasty sauce, such as tahini or garlic sauce. Enjoy your meal!
