Ingredients

  • 1 platter ungarnished Classic Hummus (homemade or store-bought)
  • 12 ounces ground lamb
  • 2 servings All-Purpose Lebanese Spice Blend
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ¼ cup minced parsley (optional garnish)
  • Olive oil to drizzle (optional)
  • pita to serve

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the Classic Hummus according to directions or purchase hummus in the store and spread out on a platter in a thin layer.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium high head and add ground lamb. Begin breaking down with a wooden spoon into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle with All-Purpose Lebanese Spice Blend and continue cooking until lamb is browned and cooked through.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, remove hot lamb and place directly onto the hummus platter. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds as well as parsley and/or olive oil if you wish. Serve with pita bread. 

Notes

  • While I usually use classic hummus, you can also use roasted garlic hummus for this recipe.
  • I love my homemade hummus, but you can make this with storebought as well!
