Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a little bit of cooking fat (lard or ghee preferred) and add the chopped collards. Cook for one or two minutes, until they become wilted and dark, dark green, then stir in the cooked ground beef, salt, pepper and za’atar and continue cooking for about one minute, until the ground beef is heated through.
Transfer the meat mixture to a bowl and top with the chopped tomatoes and baba ghanouj.
Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle generously with extra-virgin olive oil.
Dig right in, and enjoy!
Notes
*You can also use uncooked ground beef, just make sure you cook it all the way through first and THEN add the collard leaves.
