3. Add the meat, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon or allspice, and stir, crushing the meat with a fork and turning it over, until it changes color.
4. Moisten with a few tablespoons of water and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until the meat is tender.
5. Fry the pine nuts, if using, in a skillet in a drop of oil, shaking the skillet until lightly browned all over, and stir into the meat.
