  4. Finally to make the hummus put the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, washed picked mint leaves, cumin, spinach and the chickpeas in a blender. Blenders make smoother hummus. Blend till smooth tamping down . If you need more liquid add a spoon of chickpea water or olive oil. taste. Add a drop more lemon or salt if needed.
  5. Now, heat a fry pan, skillet or BBQ. Sprinkle with a little salt and olive oil then sear the lamb for 8 minutes on one side then flip over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Rest.
