Sinaya

This is a Palestinian Arab dish that will rock your world. If you can get your hands on a terra-cotta dish, use it to prepare and serve the sinaya in. Layer in the tomato, the fried eggplant, the ground beef that's mixed with spices and pine nuts, and finally a thick helping of tahini-then slide it all into the oven until the tahini becomes crusty. This is Palestinian comfort food at its best.
