Hummus kawarma is the Lebanese name for hummus with lamb on top. In Israel, hummus basar is the name for topping it with ground meat, though beef is more common. Personally, I think the lamb flavor works better, but you could substitute beef if you prefer. Spiced Beef Topping for Hummus (Kawarma) Warm ground meat toppings lend rich, savory notes to hummus, and makes it a more robust meal.
Instructions to make Hummus Kawarma:
- Combine all of the lamb marinade ingredients together into a bowl, mix together. Leave to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or you can leave overnight.
- Make the hummus by combining the tahini, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic paste first until a smooth paste is created then add in the chickpeas plus the reserved water. Blitz until a good consistency is achieved, then add in the ice cubes. Blitz again until the ice has broken down and melted and the hummus is even smoother. Set aside. Heat up a saucepan, add a touch of oil and add in the marinated mince meat once it's hot. Fry gently over a medium heat until browned and cooked through.
- Plate up the hummus and set aside. Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until just golden. Remove from the heat. Add the cooked lamb on top of the hummus then scatter over the pine nuts and parsley leaves. Drizzle over some olive oil. Serve with warmed flat breads or pita. Enjoy! :)
