Instructions
- Rub the pieces of lamb with the spices, salt and pepper, and set aside in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Prepare the hummus by spreading it out on a plate, making it thicker on the edges and shallower in the center to make a space for the meat.
- Heat a frying pan on medium high with a small amount of oil and sear the meat on all sides until browned and cooked through, this will only take a minute or two, but make sure the heat is high enough to sear the meat so that you get some good browning for flavor. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan, swirl it around, and then put the meat directly on top of the hummus. making sure you get all the juices.
- Sprinkle the plate with the almonds and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita or laffa bread.
