This is my Moroccan Lamb Mince with Hummus - quick and easy spiced lamb with smooth creamy hummus, topped with fresh herbs. Dinner is done in 30 minutes!

I know I'm very partial to lamb - but how tasty does this look?????? I want to eat it right NOW. My version of Moroccan Lamb Mince - I'm sure it's probably not traditional...moroccan lamb mince, tomatoes and herbs on a pile of hummus on a white plate

...but then I wasn't going for that (BTW hardly EVER going for that!) - I was going for what tastes goooood. And this tastes goooood.

This moroccan style lamb recipe uses ground lamb and is flavoured by a fragrant spice mix - all of which I think you probably have in your pantry already. Add some pine nuts, tomatoes & fresh herbs and dinner is on the table.

I serve it with a dollop of sour cream & my Soft Parmesan Flatbread (No Yeast). This flatbread is super simple and it only takes 20 mins!

Ingredients

LAMB

  • 500 g lamb mince/ground lamb
  • 1 tbsp ghee plus extra to serve if needed
  • 1/2 medium red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp powdered garlic
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
  • pinch of fine salt
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts
  • juice of 1 large lemon
  • 1/3 cup fresh coriander leaves
  • 1/3 cup fresh italian parsley leaves
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes - quartered
  • flatbread & sour cream to serve

HUMMUS

  • 2 x 400 g canned chickpeas (2 tins) 1 drained/1 drained & liquid reserved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • juice of 1 large lemon
  • salt to taste

Instructions

HUMMUS

  • Remove the skins from the chickpeas (see notes)
  • Add chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander and most of the lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend - it won't be smooth at this point
  • Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl, then add 1 tbsp of reserved chickpea water then blend until the mix becomes smooth - adding more chickpea water and remaining lemon juice as needed for smoothness and taste, then set aside (see notes)

LAMB

  • Add the garlic powder, allspice, ground cumin, ground coriander seeds & salt to the lamb mince & combine well using your hands
  • In a large pan, heat ghee over medium heat and fry onion for 1 min, then turn heat up to high and add lamb to pan, breaking up the mince and frying until almost cooked through
  • Add pine nuts to pan & continue to fry until lamb is cooked through and pine nuts are slightly coloured. Add lemon juice to pan & then remove from heat (see notes)
  • Place a swirl of hummus on each plate, top with lamb mixture, scatter with fresh herbs and cherry tomato quarters, then spoon over pan juices 
  • Serve immediately with flatbread & sour cream if using

Notes

  • I have found the easiest way to remove the skins from the chickpeas is to put them in a bowl and cover them really well with water, then rub the chickpeas lightly between your hands and the skins will rise to the surface which you can then skim/pour off.
  • If you reach the end of step 3 for the lamb, and would like a bit more "sauce" you can always add some more ghee to the hot pan.
  • I actually heat the hummus slightly before I plate it up - that's the way we like to eat it. Warm or cold, it's up to you!
  • This dish would be great scaled down to make a starter/appetizer.
