Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef and lamb. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked, breaking the meat apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the toasted pine nuts, chopped mint, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Mix in one beaten egg to form a dough.
Press half of the almond flour dough into the bottom of a greased medium-sized baking dish to form the crust.
Spread the meat mixture evenly over the base.
Cover the meat with the remaining almond flour dough, pressing gently to ensure it sticks together.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush it over the top of the almond flour crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
