Hummus with Spiced Ground Beef, Feta and Mint

PREP 10mins | COOK 20mins | TOTAL 30mins

You can buy your own hummus or make our simple hummus recipe. It only takes about 10 minutes and tastes better than store-bought. Basically, we add tahini, lemon juice, spices and chickpeas to a food processor and process until ultra smooth. This recipe can also be adapted for ground lamb, chicken or turkey.

Makes approximately 6 servings

YOU WILL NEED

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 cup chicken or beef stock

Salt

2 cups hummus, see our homemade hummus recipe

5 to 6 mint leaves, chopped

Handful crumbled feta cheese

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef, press it down into the pan then cook, without disturbing it until browned on one side, about 8 minutes. Break the beef up then stir in the cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, coriander, allspice, and a generous pinch of salt. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken stock and cook until reduced and beef is cooked, about 5 minutes. Spoon hummus into a bowl and top with spiced beef, feta cheese and the chopped mint leaves.
