Syrian Rice with Meat
In this Syrian rice dish, ground beef is combined with pine nuts and seasoned with allspice, cinnamon, and black pepper. Attempt it with other meats, such as lamb.

Heat 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add ground beef and season with salt allspice cinnamon and black pepper.

Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir chicken broth and rice into beef in the saucepan; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low cover and cook until liquid is absorbed about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat.

Cook and stir pine nuts in hot butter until lightly browned 3 to 5 minutes.

Mix pine nuts into beef-rice mixture before serving.
