ingredients

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb lamb
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons ghee
3 large tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons ground sumac
3 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 sheets puff pastry

directions

Saute onions in butter until soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
Cook ground beef in pan until brown and fully cooked. Drain and put back in pan.
Add onions to pan. Add tomatoes, spices, tahini and molasses and cook over low heat for a few minutes until tomatoes almost disappear.
Cut each pastry sheet into 25 squares. Lay each square in a well of the muffin tin (there will be one leftover; you can make a tiny turnover :).
Spoon meat mixture into each tart.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges of pastry are browned.
Top with parsley.
