Kibbeh Filled Filo

1 (1lb) box filo dough thawed.
2 lbs ground beef
2 onions diced
1 tablespoon kibbeh spice
1 teaspoon sumac
1/4 cup pine nuts
salt/pepper
Oil

How2:
In a skillet brown the ground beef, add salt,pepper,and kibbeh spices.
Once they have cooked you may run the meat in the food processor this will make more uniform filling and not huge chunks.
In the same skillet add onions,sautee until they are transparent, re add meat so they are well mixed saute about 10mins on med-low heat.
Place in a bowl add sumac,and pine nuts. Mix well.

*You may use any size the larger the thinner it will be if you use a smaller pan the thicker it will me.

Preheat oven to 350DF
With a brush, brush oil on the bottom of the pan.
Depending on the size lay down 1-2 sheets of filo dough.
With each sheet brush with oil in between them.
Repeat adding filo and oil until you have made a think bottom you need to leave at least 3-5 sheets for the top. Its best to have more layers on the bottom so it can hold up the filling.
Place the filling over the dough, leaving the edges.
Continue to layer the remaining filo and oil until you reach the last layer.
Tuck in the edges.
With a sharp knife cut the filo into squares this insured you can cut them once baked.
Bake for 20mins or until the filo is cooked and golden.
Serve as is or with some yogurt sauce or salad.
