Hummus with Spiced Lamb and Herby Tahini

My Hummus with Spiced Lamb and Herby Tahini is a whole, hearty winter dinner in one bowl! I love making homemade hummus; it’s ALWAYS better than store-bought, and so many people don’t realize how easy it is to make at home. This one is a classic hummus, which is the perfect foundation for this spin on Middle Eastern hummus basar (hummus topped with spiced beef). I went with ground lamb in this recipe, but any ground protein you like will work just as well! There are also tons of veggies to amp up the nourishment, along with plenty of spices, tomato paste, and honey for a borderline addicting flavor combination. For freshness, I like to top my bowls with a simple shirazi salad and green tahini. You can simplify the recipe by drizzling plain tahini over top, but my green tahini is packed with fresh herbs and garlic, and adds such incredible flavor and color to the dish. (You’ll have extra, and it’s delicious drizzled over salads, in sandwiches, or really anything savory!) Once each component is piled into a bowl, all you need is a warm piece of pita bread for scooping up big bites of everything. I love this on a cold night, but it’s perfect for meal prep as lunches, too!
