Categories: Dairy, Fruits, Vegetables, Beef, Nuts
Yield: 4 servings

2 c Greek yogurt
2 Mini cucumbers; grated on
- the large holes of a box
- grater
3 tb Fine chopped mint; plus mint
- leaves for serving
1 lg Garlic clove; fine grated
1 lb Ground chuck or ground lamb
1 sm Yellow onion; grated on the
- lg holes of a box grater
½ ts ground turmeric
2 ts Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper
1/4 c Walnut halves or pieces
2 tb Raisins or dried
- cranberries
Pomegranate molasses; opt,
- for serving
Warmed pita or white rice;
- for serving

Add the yogurt, cucumbers, chopped mint and garlic to a
medium bowl. Mix well to combine. Chill until ready to
serve.

Add the beef, onion, turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt and
lots of black pepper to a second medium bowl and mix
well to combine.

Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet (or other
large heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high. Once the
skillet is very hot, divide beef into large, irregular
chunks by using two spoons or your hands and drop into
the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until charred and crisp
on the underside and browned at least halfway up the
sides, 6 to 8 minutes.

Using a wooden spoon, toss the meat, breaking up any
very large pieces. Add the walnuts and raisins and
continue to cook, stirring often, until the meat is
cooked to desired doneness and the walnuts are toasted,
2 to 3 minutes more.

Remove the yogurt from the fridge and season with the
remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Spread the yogurt on the
bottom of a serving platter and top with the crispy
meat. Finish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, if
using, and garnish with mint leaves. Serve with warmed
pita or rice.
