Meat Filling:
In a medium-sized skillet, add the olive oil and let it simmer for (1-2 minutes). Then, add the onions, followed by the minced garlic, and cook for (3-5 minutes) or until translucent in color. Then, add the minced meat, and cook for (5-8 minutes), stirring occasionally, or until the meat is lightly browned. Then, add the salt, black pepper, and roasted pine and cook the meat for another 5 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
Remove the meat filling from heat and set it aside to cool.
Potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°C)
Peel the skin of the potatoes and carefully core out the middle portion of the potatoes, leaving 1 cm of potato flesh on the sides. As you prepare the potatoes, place the potato cores and potato shells in a container filled with water to prevent decolorization.
Then, place the potato cores at the bottom of a greased casserole. Then, place the potato shells on top of the potato cores—drizzle olive oil and lemon juice on the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes for 5 minutes to give the crust a slightly golden color. Then remove the potatoes and set them aside to cool down slightly.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: You can prepare this dish ahead of time by preparing the meat filling the night before and storing it in an air-tight container in the fridge. Bring the meat filling to room temperature before stuffing the potato shells.
- Storage Instructions: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for four days.
- Leftover Beef: The leftover cooked minced beef can sealed in a vacuum bag and stored in the freezer for up to 4 months.
