Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Ground meat
1 cup Chopped onions
½ cup Pine nuts
½ cup Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper BHAR (SWEET PEPPER)
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

STUFFING

Grease a shallow 12 x 18 inch baking pan. Pat a layer of basic kibbeh smoothly and firmly over the bottom of the pan to the depth of one inch.

Cover this evenly with a layer of stuffing. Top with a second layer of kibbeh slightly thicker than the first. Score into diamond shapes with a sharp knife(just to decorate). Pour one cup oil over all. Bake in moderate oven about 20 minutes, or until well browned. Serve hot or cold. Serves 8 persons.

Heat fat. Fry chopped onions in it until soft. Add meat and fry until lightly browned. Add pine nuts and continue frying until they are slightly browned and the meat has lost its pink color entirely. Season with salt, pepper and cinnamon. Pour off excess fat.
