Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.

Add the ground beef (or lamb) to the pan and cook until browned. Season with ground cinnamon, ground allspice, salt, and pepper.
