Hummus with Ground Lamb and Toasted Pine Nuts

Ingredients

  • 1 platter of un-garnished Classic Hummus
  • 1 tablespoon clarified butter (ghee)
  • 1 pound ground lamb (or sirloin)
  • 1 medium diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons Lebanese All-Purpose Spiced Blend
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • fresh parsley (to serve)

Steps

  1. 1

    Spread hummus in a thin layer on a large platter and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt clarified butter in a deep skillet over medium-high heat then add lamb to the pan. Begin browning the lamb using a wooden spoon to break up into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    After about 5 minutes, when the lamb is still partially cooked, stir in the onion and spices. Continue sautéing, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and lamb is fully cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove pan from the heat and stir in the pine nuts. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

  5. 5

    Spoon warm lamb and pine nut mixture over the hummus and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with warm pita bread for scooping.
