Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet over medium-high, brown ground beef with diced onion, breaking up clumps, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in allspice, pomegranate molasses, and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and cool 1 minute.
Step 3
Brush a phyllo sheet lightly with olive oil. Fold it in half lengthwise to form a long strip.
Step 4
Spoon 1 tbsp meat filling near the bottom corner. Fold phyllo corner over filling to form a triangle, then fold triangle up and over until you reach the end.
Step 5
Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 8 fatayer.
Step 6
Brush fatayer with remaining olive oil. Bake until golden and crispy, 8–10 minutes. Scatter pine nuts over top if using.
