Hommus with meat and pine nuts - حمص مع اللحمة والصنوبر


The recipe of preparing hommus is already listed among my previous recipe. Now for the meat and pine nuts topping you'll need:
- Lean minced meat (1 cup)
- Pine nuts (about 1/3 cup)
- Olive oil (or vegetabl oil, which ever you like, about 2 tablespoons
- Finely chopped onions, about 2 tablespoons
- Salt & pepper to taste, and a pinch of allspice (optional)
In a skillet on medium-high, add oil and pine nuts. when the pine nuts start to brown, add the onions, mix and cook for about a minute then add the minced meat and mix them all together and keep cooking until the meat is fully cooked. Serve over the hommus along with pita bread.

Great photo! I can almost taste it just by looking at it ;)

Do you ever add a pinch of allspice to the meat? And is it lamb? I assume it is...

Thanks Christie!
Yes I add a pinch of allspice to the meat, actually forgot to add that, sorry :( The meat can be lamb or lean beef, up to you, they both work.

Good recipes, true to form, easy to make, and delicious to eat. The not-so-obvious impact is that it's healthy for you, but eat it for the taste, your good health will follow.

sumac, all spice, bulgar wheat, lean ground beef, parsley, mint, thyme, half an onion, hummus and you can make dozens of recipes :-)
