Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 50 grams Pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Finely chop the onion, garlic, mint, and parsley.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cauliflower rice, chopped onion, garlic, mint, parsley, and pine nuts.
Add the ground cumin, allspice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and mix thoroughly to combine.
Drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice, and mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and transfer the meat mixture into it. Press the mixture down with a spatula to form an even layer.
Score the top of the mixture in a diamond pattern with a knife.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the kibe is cooked through and the top is nicely browned.
Allow the kibe to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optionally, serve with a side of fresh greens or a paleo-friendly yogurt sauce.
