　　Hummus is a great base for a weeknight dinner. Top each serving off with crispy spiced beef (or a vegetarian alternative) and a fresh tomato salad and dig in, with pita or without.

　　

Ingredients

4 servings

　　1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

　　1 lb. ground beef, or a vegetarian alternative such as Lightlife® Smart Ground

　　1 tsp. ground coriander

　　1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

　　1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

　　2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

　　1 pint cherry tomatoes or 2 medium heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes, cut into 1" pieces

　　1 cup parsley leaves with tender stems, coarsely chopped

　　1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

　　1 batch Easy Canned Chickpea Hummus

　　Extra-virgin olive oil, lemon wedges, Aleppo-style pepper, hot sauce, pickles, and pita (for serving; optional)

　　

Step 1

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.

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, toss tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.

　　

Step 3

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.
