Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Ingredients: 1/4 cup tahini; 1/4 cup water; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 pound ground beef; 1 medium tomato chopped (about 1 cup); 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley; 1/2 cup chopped white onion; 1/4 cup chopped jalapeno; 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Ground Cumin; 1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet® Organic Ground Coriander; 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Allspice; 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder; 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Ground Black Pepper; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 6 small pita pockets, halved

1

For the Lemon Tahini, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2

For the Hawawshi, place beef in a large bowl; set aside. Place remaining ingredients, except pitas, in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. Add the mixture to the bowl with ground beef; mix just until blended. Divide the beef mixture into 12 portions.

3

Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat grill on medium heat. Place 1 portion of the beef mixture in each pita half, pressing as needed to fill pita evenly. Brush the outside of pitas lightly with oil. Grill just until lightly charred on both sides.

4

Arrange in a single layer on a foil-lined sheet pan. Transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is cooked through. Serve immediately with Lemon Tahini on the side.
