Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings

  • ¾ pound ground beef

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup water

  • ¾ cup tahini

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon mixed spices

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Place beef in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Form into 6 small finger shapes, place on an ungreased baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until starting to brown, about 7 minutes.

  4. Combine water, tahini, lemon juice, mixed spices, salt, and pepper in a bowl; whisk until tahini is dissolved and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer tahini mixture to a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir constantly until simmering, about 3 minutes. Add meat fingers to saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
