This is delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner time! A variation on the Lahm Bi Ajin — the Lebanese meat pie.

Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan. Add, the onion, beef, parsley, salt, pepper, turmeric and cumin.
Cook for approximately 5 minutes at high temperature stirring at all time until the mixture is cooked but not dry, and the water has almost disappeared.
Mix the salad together, season and add enough lemon juice and olive oil to coat. Taste and add more if needed.
Warm the laffa breads and spread with hummus. Top with Israeli salad and the warm meat. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve immediately, while warm.
