Instructions:
Start by making the hummus:
*In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and water.
*Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more water or olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.
*Season with salt to taste. Set the hummus aside.
*Prepare the ground beef topping:
*In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
*Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
*Add the ground beef, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook the beef until it is browned and fully cooked. Make sure to break the beef into small pieces as it cooks.
*Toast the pine nuts:
*In a separate small pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until they become golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
*Assemble the dish:
*Spread the hummus on a serving platter or a shallow bowl.
*Spoon the cooked ground beef over the hummus.
*Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley or cilantro on top.
*Finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil.
*Serve the hummus with warm pita bread or pita chips for dipping.
Enjoy your hummus with pine nuts and ground beef! It's a hearty and flavorful appetizer or snack that is sure to impress your guests.
