This is our favorite way to enjoy hummus. Spiced vegan ground meat cooked until nice & crisp contrasts wonderfully against smooth and creamy hummus. Topped off with a refreshing chopped cucumber sumac pomegranate salad and toasted pine nuts, we could eat this hummus with vegan spiced meat every day.

Cooking Instructions
1.
In the bowl of a food processor, add Chickpeas (2 cans), Garlic (2 cloves), Water (4 Tbsp), Lemon (1), Fine Salt (1 tsp), and Tahini (4 Tbsp). Process the ingredients until smooth, about 4 minutes, stopping the processor to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
2.
Pour Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) through the shoot and continue processing for another 4 minutes, until the hummus is creamy and fluffy. Taste and adjust salt if needed. If the hummus is too thick, add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.
3.
Whisk together Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (1), Ground Sumac (1/2 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp).
4.
Add Persian Cucumbers (2) and Pomegranate Seeds (1). Stir until well combined. Leave to rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
5.
Heat skillet over medium heat. Add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) and Pine Nuts (2 Tbsp). Cook the pine nuts, stirring often, until golden. Transfer to a dish.
6.
Return the skillet to the heat, add the remaining Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) and Onion (1). Sauté the onion until barely golden, about 3-5 minutes.
7.
Add Ground Beef (12 oz), breaking it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Season the meat with Salt (to taste), Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste), and Ras el Hanout (2 tsp). Cook, stirring often until the meat is crispy and cooked completely through for about 10 minutes.
8.
Divide hummus between two plates. Smooth hummus around the serving plate with a spoon while creating a well in the center. Drizzle with olive oil, top with spiced meat, and toasted pine nuts. Garnish with a sprinkle of Fresh Parsley (to taste). Serve with warm crispy pita bread.
