Hummus Dinner Bowls With Spiced Ground Beef And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy, preferably cast-iron, skillet over high. Pat beef (or vegetarian alternative) dry with paper towels, then press into an even layer in skillet with a spatula. Season with coriander, pepper, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. salt and cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust begins to form underneath, about 6 minutes. Turn, break beef into pieces, and continue to cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Divide hummus among shallow bowls. Using the back of a spoon, smooth into an even layer, then create a wide divot in the center. Spoon spiced beef and tomato mixture over, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Aleppo-style pepper, if using. Serve with lemon wedges, hot sauce, pickles, and pita alongside, if using.

Steps:

• Bring the chickpeas and their liquid to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drain, reserving the liquid. Set aside 1/4 cup chickpeas for topping. Process the remaining chickpeas in a food processor with 1/2 cup chickpea liquid, the tahini, half of the garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and salt to make a silky puree, scraping down the sides as needed, 2 to 3 minutes. If the hummus is too thick, add more chickpea liquid 1 tablespoon at a time; season with salt.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off all but about 3 tablespoons drippings. Stir in the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, the paprika, cinnamon and allspice; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and half of the herbs.
• Divide the hummus among bowls. Top with the lamb mixture, the reserved chickpeas, remaining herbs and a light drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita and cucumber salad.
