This hearty Middle Eastern-style dish is ready in less than half an hour. It's perfect for a quick and delicious weekday dinner. Ground beef is mixed with spices, including the contrasting flavors of cinnamon and cumin, which imbue the meat with an oriental flavor, and the patties are pan-fried. Meanwhile, couscous, carrots, and dried apricots steam in a saucepan. Serve the patties with a side salad and a refreshing yogurt sauce topped with chopped cilantro and paprika.
