Crispy Lamb Hummus Ingredients

Method

Crispy Lamb Hummus Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine cooked chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed for desired consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lamb

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add diced lamb shoulder. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, honey, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create the vinaigrette.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a separate bowl, toss sliced serrano peppers and mixed fresh herbs together. Drizzle with tamarind vinaigrette and mix well.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the crispy lamb over the hummus, top with the serrano herb salad, and serve with warm pita bread on the side.
