This is so delicious. With a sauce of garlicky yogurt and cucumber. Traditionally this dish is made with ground lamb but I make it with ground beef. A tweaked version of Recipe #131701. Great meal with a salad on the side masha Allah.

- Peel onions. Cut and chop in a food processor until a pulp.
- Heat olive oil over medium high, add onions and reduce heat cooking until transparent.
- Add 1 tbs butter, parsley and lean ground beef and cook until no more pink shows, stirring to break apart often.

- Enjoy :D.
