Method

1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned.

2

Stir the Lebanese 7-spice, salt, and black pepper into the browned meat. Add the minced garlic and chopped fresh cilantro, and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.

3

Add the prepared spinach to the pot. Stir well to combine it evenly with the meat and onion mixture.

4

Pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5

Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice right at the end.

6

Serve immediately alongside traditional Lebanese vermicelli rice, top with the toasted pine nuts for a buttery crunch.
