Beef w/ Pine Nuts in Pita
1 pound ground sirloin beef
1 T. oil
1/4 c. pine nuts, toasted
3/4 c. onion, chopped
1 fresh tomato, diced
1/2 c. green pepper, diced
1/6 c. fresh parsley, chopped
1/6 c. lemon juice
1 1/2 T. red wine vinegar
salt
1 - 1 1/2 tsp. allspice, to taste (original recipe called for 3/8 tsp. - not enough)
1/4 tsp. cayenne
Pita bread, for serving
Chick Pea Hummus, for serving
Plain yogurt, for serving
Heat a skillet and cook the beef in the oil just until the beef starts to change color. Add the pine nuts and onion and cook until onions are soft. Add the rest of the ingredients (except for the pita bread, hummus and yogurt) and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. Taste and adjust seasonings if need be.
Heat the pita bread; you can toast it in the oven or toaster. Stuff the bread with the hot mixture and top with the hummus and plain yogurt or try tahini dressing in place of the hummus.
