Hummus With Meat Food

HUMMUS WITH MEAT

Steps:

• Make the hummus by adding the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt and ground cumin to a blender. Blitz until you reach the desired consistency. You could add a dash of water if your hummus is too chunky.
• To prepare the meat, start by sautéing a diced onion a pan with a little bit of olive oil. Cook until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
• Add the diced beef or lamb. Season with Schwartz Allspice, and sea salt. When the meat is cooked through and the juices evaporated, remove from heat and set aside.
• Assemble your hummus with meat. In a bowl, spread the hummus using a spoon, and make a well in the centre. Pile up the meat in the centre of the hummus.
• Top with toasted pine nuts. Toast the pine nuts by heating a little bit of olive oil in a pan then toasting the pine nuts for a couple of minutes. Once they start changing their colour, remove from heat immediately.
• Finally, sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds and serve immediately with warm pita bread.

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.
