Cook Time 10 minutes
Course Entrees
Cuisine Lebanese

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs ground chuck or ground lamb
  • 2 large white or red onions chopped
  • 3 bunches flat leaf parsley chopped
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon seven spice
  • Good thin Pita bread

Instructions
 

  • Chop the onions into a small dice and chop the parsley until fine. An easy method is to chop the onions and parsley in a food processor until desired size.
  • Add the parsley and onions mixture to a mixing bowl.
  • Add in the salt, black pepper and seven spice.
  • Mix it thoroughly and taste a small piece to adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Open up your pita so it's open faced. Smear two heaping kitchen tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the pita.
  • Bake at 350°F on a baking sheet lined with greased aluminum for about 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked inside, but the outside is golden brown.
  • Enjoy immediately with some laban and fries!
