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
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- fresh parsley (to serve)
Instructions
- Spread hummus in a thin layer on a large platter and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove pan from the heat and stir in the pine nuts. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
- Spoon warm lamb and pine nut mixture over the hummus and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with warm pita bread for scooping.
