This hummus with spiced beef is seriously delicious. You can buy your hummus or make our simple hummus recipe. It only takes about 10 minutes and tastes better than store-bought. Feel free to substitute the ground beef in our recipe below for ground lamb. I especially love this with our soft and fluffy pita bread!
1 batch homemade hummus or 2 cups store-bought hummus
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef, we prefer 85/15 (450g)
¼ cup beef stock, chicken stock, or water (60ml)
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
1 ounce crumbled feta cheese (28g)
1Make the spice mixture: In a small bowl, whisk the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne, and salt together.
2Brown the beef: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, add the olive oil, and then press the beef down into the pan. Cook, without disturbing it, until browned on one side, about 8 minutes. Break the beef up, then stir in the spice mixture and continue for 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and cook until reduced and the beef is cooked, about 5 minutes more.
3To serve: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl, top with the spiced ground beef, and finish by sprinkling over the mint and feta cheese.
