The Siniya is a famous Mediterranean Arab dish, popular in Palestine, Israel and other kitchens it that region. Traditionally made from a mix of mutton and beef. Some will say that this is the Middle East’s take on shepherd’s pie, Siniya (Mediterranean Ground Meat with Tahini) is very tasty and old dish. It might sound like a complicated dish to make, however, the ground meat and Tahini dish with tomatoes and pine nuts is super easy to prepare.

Basically, the Siniya is a layered dish. I start with baking the ground meat and spices for 20 min (i use beef but you can mix with lamb). After 20 min I’m adding the tomatoes and bake for another 10 min. The last step is to pour the Thani and send it back to the over for the last 10 min. The pine nuts will go on top when cooking is done (It’s possible to make the dish without the pine nuts if you don’t have any or want to serve it to small children)

You can easily serve Siniya at a good dinner or lunch party.  For a great low carb,  serve with Cauliflower in Anchovies Thanini sauce.
