Lemon juice gives this meat mixture a Middle Eastern flavor, making it one of my family's favorite meals. The pine nuts or sunflower kernels add a bit of crunch. - Lauren McMann, Blairsville, Georgia Ingredients:

1/3 cup minced fresh parsley |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
