MMMMM---------------------HAWAWSHI SEASONING--------------------------
      1 ts Coriander
      1 ts Allspice
      1 ts Paprika
      1 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Cumin
    3/4 ts Cardamom
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
 
  Set the oven @ 400°F/205°C.
  
  In a small bowl, add the spices and mix to combine.
  
  Put the onion, garlic, bell pepper, jalapeno, and
  parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a
  blade, pulse a few times until finely chopped. Transfer
  the mixture to a sieve to drain excess liquid (it helps
  to push with the back of a spoon).
  
  Transfer the onion mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add
  the ground beef and tomato paste. Mix to combine. Add
  the spice mixture and a dash of kosher salt. Mix again
  until the mixture is well combined and the spices are
  well distributed within the meat mixture.
  
  Cut the pita loafs in halves to create 12 pita pockets.
  
  Prepare a large sheet pan brushed with a bit of extra
  virgin olive oil.
  
  Stuff each pita pocket with ? cup of the meat mixture.
  Using the back of a spoon, spread the meat mixture
  inside the pita pockets.
  
  Arrange the pitas in the prepared sheet pan. Brush the
  pita pocket tops with a bit of extra virgin olive oil.
  
  Bake in the heated oven for 15, then carefully turn the
  pitas over and cook on the other side another 5 to 10
  minutes until the meat is fully cooked and the pita is
  crispy on both sides.
