MMMMM---------------------HAWAWSHI SEASONING--------------------------
1 ts Coriander
1 ts Allspice
1 ts Paprika
1 ts Black pepper
1/2 ts Cumin
3/4 ts Cardamom
1/4 ts Cinnamon
Set the oven @ 400°F/205°C.
In a small bowl, add the spices and mix to combine.
Put the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, and
parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a
blade, pulse a few times until finely chopped. Transfer
the mixture to a sieve to drain excess liquid (it helps
to push with the back of a spoon).
Transfer the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add
the ground beef and tomato paste. Mix to combine. Add
the spice mixture and a dash of kosher salt. Mix again
until the mixture is well combined and the spices are
well distributed within the meat mixture.
Cut the pita loafs in halves to create 12 pita pockets.
Prepare a large sheet pan brushed with a bit of extra
virgin olive oil.
Stuff each pita pocket with ? cup of the meat mixture.
Using the back of a spoon, spread the meat mixture
inside the pita pockets.
Arrange the pitas in the prepared sheet pan. Brush the
pita pocket tops with a bit of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in the heated oven for 15, then carefully turn the
pitas over and cook on the other side another 5 to 10
minutes until the meat is fully cooked and the pita is
crispy on both sides.
