1 tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice
¼ tsp marjarom

2 Tblsp ghee
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 lb lean ground chuck
1 onion, chopped fine
2 Tblsp Lebanese Spice Mix
Tzatziki:
2 cups sour cream (can use 3 cups Greek yogurt or sour cream strained in cheesecloth overnight, for a thicker, creamier spread)

2 tablespoons dillweed (or to taste)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Juice of 1 lemon

2. Make meat mixture by putting ghee in skillet and heat.
3. Add meat filling ingredients of ground chuck, onion, pine nuts and spices.
