Ingredients
 
- 4 cups cooked chick peas
- 1 cup tahina paste
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ cup ice water or more if necessary
- 1 tsp kosher salt or more to taste

Topping
 
- 10 oz finely chopped lamb or ground lamb
- ¼ tsp each of freshly ground white pepper and black pepper
- ½ tsp each ground allspice and cinnamon
- good pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp each crushed dried za’atar leaves or oregano and kosher salt
- 1 tbsp each white wine vinegar, chopped fresh mint and parsley
- 1 tbsp olive oil lemon sauce:
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 green chile, finely chopped (to taste)
- 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Preparation
 
1. For hummus: reserve about ½ cup chick peas for garnish. Place remaining chick peas in a food processor and purée until a stiff paste. Add tahina, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Slowly drizzle in ice water and process about 5 minutes until very smooth and creamy. If mixture is too thick, add additional ice water.

2. In a bowl, combine meat with pepper, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, za’atar, salt, vinegar, mint and parsley. Heat oil in a heavy skillet until very hot and saute meat, in two batches, about 3 to 4 minutes until well browned.

3. For lemon sauce: combine parsley, chile, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic. Season to taste.

4. To assemble: Spread hummus on 6 plates (or one platter if serving as an appetizer). Spoon meat into the centre. Drizzle with lemon sauce and sprinkle with reserved chick peas, pine nuts and chopped parsley. Makes 6 servings
