Ingredients

• 400 g Ground beef 15% fat ( fresh )
• 4 piece Country bread ( in thick slices )
• 1 piece Onion ( minced )
• 2 piece Garlic ( chopped )
• 1 piece Round tomato ( finely diced )
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Cumin ground
• 1 tsp Sweet paprika
• 1 pinch Hot pepper en poudre optional
• 0.5 piece Flat-leaf parsley ( small bunch, chopped )
• 0.5 piece Fresh cilantro ( small bunch, chopped )
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground
• 1 tsp Harissa

Instructions

1. Aromatic preparation

   Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic after removing the germ. Cut the tomato into small regular cubes to add moisture to the filling.

2. Cooking the meat

   In a pan with olive oil, sauté the onion. Add the ground beef and sear over high heat. When the meat starts to brown, stir in the garlic, cumin, paprika, chili, and harissa. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Binding and herbs

   Add the tomato cubes. Let reduce until the juice coats the meat without drowning it. Off the heat, add the chopped parsley and cilantro to keep their fragrance intact.

4. Plating

   Toast the slices of country bread until they are golden and crispy. Generously spread the hot meat on each toast.

Chef's tips

• Don't overcrowd the pan so the meat actually sears instead of boiling in its own juices.
• Rub a garlic clove on the warm toasted bread for extra character.

Storage

Eat immediately to keep the bread's crunch. The meat filling can be stored in the fridge for 24 hours.
