  1. 1 Tbsp ground black pepper

  2. 1 Tbsp paprika

  3. 1 Tbsp ground cumin

  4. 1/2 Tbsp ground coriander

  5. 1/2 Tbsp 1 tablespoon ground cloves

  6. 1/ tsp ground nutmeg

  7. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  8. 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

  9. 1 pound of ground beef (98% fat free, if possible)

  10. 4 ounces of chopped onion

  11. 1/2 cup of minced Italian parsley

  12. 3 Tbsp of tahini

  13. 1 tsp of minced garlic

  14. 1 Tbsp of pomegranate molasses

  15. 2 Tbsp of tomato paste

  16. 3 Tbsp of labneh (yogurt cheese) (I had no idea what this is, so I used queso fresco, a firm, white cheese)

  17. 1 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  18. 1 teaspoon of Arabic seven-spice (I made my own from spices on hand; recipe below)

  19. 1 teaspoon of sumac

  20. 1/2 teaspoon (or more, to taste) of dried chili flakes or chili powder

  21. 2 cups of cherry tomatoes

  22. 2 cups of chopped Italian parsley

  23. 1 cup of chopped onion or green onion

  24. 1 cup of pomegranate seeds (I did not have any pomegranate seeds but I am dying to try it with them!)

  25. 1/4 cup of olive oil

  26. 3 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice

  27. 1 tsp of sumac

  28. 1 tsp of salt

  29. a dash of allspice

Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Mix all of the spice ingredients together. This will be more than you need but you will be making this again!

  2. Chop the onion fine and combine with some salt; place it on a sieve lined with a paper towel and let the onion drain its juice for 30 minutes or so.

  3. Place the meat, spices, drained onion, chopped parsley, tahini, pomegranate molasses, labneh (for me, queso) and minced garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 2 minutes or until the mixture turns pasty. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a few baking sheets with foil. Place a pita on the foil and slather about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the meat mixture (depending on the size of the pita) on the pita, using a spatula to spread it as evenly as possible. Continue with the rest of the pitas.

  5. Bake for 7-10 minutes, checking halfway through. When the meat looks cooked, remove from the oven.

  6. Mix the salad ingredients together; add the dressing and serve on top of the warm pita.
