Hummus with minced meat and pine nuts
When I first posted this recipe, there was no real alternative for mince. Hummus with a deliciously savoury topping of minced meat, onions and pine nuts is an absolute Levant classic and can actually be found on every mezze. But there are now a whole range of minced alternatives that are, firstly, better for the climate and, secondly, don’t have any animals on their consciences. I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I try to use as many alternatives as possible. And quite honestly: for me personally, the new alternatives to minced meat make the original obsolete. And so the vegan hummus may remain vegan even with this fantastic topping.
Perfect as a mezze or even as a main course!
I know: as if you had to make hummus even better. As if you couldn’t eat your fill of pure hummus as it is. But believe me, this topping is the absolute crowning glory! You can turn hummus into a real main course in no time at all. And you don’t even have to plan much more time. Hummus with minced meat and pine nuts is a real filling dish with fresh pita bread. Of course, you can also divide it into several portions and share it with friends as a mezze starter.
For me, by the way, the dish is also a real lifesaver. Just after work, when my stomach somehow growls at the level of the knees and nags me, I treat myself to a double portion of hummus with minced meat and pine nuts. Cooked chickpeas I always have at home and hummus is really super fast conjured. All that’s missing then is sautéed mince with onions, seasoned with a pinch of cinnamon. I then put that on top of the chickpea cream and top it all off with a good drizzle of olive oil – sometimes a lake of it. I don’t need cutlery here, by the way. I eat everything with fresh pita bread and close my eyes with pleasure. For me, that’s really good comfort food.
