Hummus And Ground Meat Food

HUMMUS WITH MEAT ALL OVER IT

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef and sprinkle it with the cumin, cinnamon, Aleppo pepper, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon or spatula, until it is heated through and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
• To serve, spread the hummus in a serving bowl and top it with the beef. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and parsley.

HUMMUS AND GROUND MEAT

Steps:

• Prepare the Hummus: Boil the chickpeas till cooked, then blend with a little cooking water keeping it a little rough. (You can make extra amounts and freeze for later use at this point, you will be able to defrost and prepare later on.).
• In a dish put the chickpeas, add Tahini and stir gently while slowly adding the lemon juice (water eventually if needed). Add salt. You should have the consistency of yogurt. Make sure it is not too consistent because it will become hard if put in the fridge.
• You can also add finely crushed garlic to the Hummus. Add a little olive oil before serving if you like.
• In a skillet saute the onion in the olive oil till translucent. Add the meat, add salt and pepper cook till brown. Add the pine nuts.
• Serve hot with Hummus on the side and Lebanese bread (pita bread) toasted or not.

HUMMUS DINNER BOWLS WITH SPICED GROUND BEEF AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy, preferably cast-iron, skillet over high. Pat beef (or vegetarian alternative) dry with paper towels, then press into an even layer in skillet with a spatula. Season with coriander, pepper, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt and cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust begins to form underneath, about 6 minutes. Turn, break beef into pieces, and continue to cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Divide hummus among shallow bowls. Using the back of a spoon, smooth into an even layer, then create a wide divot in the center. Spoon spiced beef and tomato mixture over, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Aleppo-style pepper, if using. Serve with lemon wedges, hot sauce, pickles, and pita alongside, if using.
