Syrian Rice with Meat

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 2 lb ground beef
• 2 tsp salt
• ½ tsp allspice
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 5 cup chicken broth
• 2 cup rice
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ cup pine nuts

Steps

1. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt, allspice, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 7-10 minutes.
2. Stir chicken broth and rice into the beef in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
5. Add pine nuts to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Once the rice and beef mixture is cooked, stir in the toasted pine nuts.
7. Serve hot.
