Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are well browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add uncooked rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens, diced tomato, diced cucumber, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a platter, serve the beef patties alongside a portion of hummus, cooked rice, a small salad, and warm Lebanese pita bread.
