1/4 cup pine nuts
1 tablespoon kibbe spice....
 if you don't its fine just add some
Cinnamon,pepper it give same affect.
1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

1 8oz packet of Filo

vegetable oil in a spray bottle

How 2

first in medium heat in a pan add oil and begin to sautee diced onion the best thing is to run it in a processor for a few seconds , so sautee it sweat out add ground beef and spices and stir until beef is browned , turn heat off and the pine nuts.

once mixture is cooled its time to assemble.

to insure that the filo does not dry out cover with a damp towel while you work the best thing is to work quickly......

divide the filo sheets into equal amount of sheets and in the pan spray some oil and layer the first 2 sheets of filo down then spray with more oil add the next two and repeat until u have the first set of filo. then add the meat filling and with the rest of the follow continue to layer each 2 and spray .. tuck in edges using butter knife spray the last layer..

with a knife make cut in the pastry so that when you bake it it would already be cut up.. if you don't do this step it will just crumble if you try to cut it.

place in a 350 degree oven for about 1/2 hour or until golden.. the one i did i made a day in advance just set it up as you would above then cover and place in freezer when you need it just allow to thaw a bit and bake it may take longer.. but its worth it.
