How to make Hummus dinner bowls with spiced ground beef and tomatoes

1. Heat oil in a large, heavy frying pan over a high heat.

2. Pat the minced beef dry with kitchen paper, then press it into an even layer in the frying pan using a spatula.

3. Season with coriander, pepper, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook undisturbed for about 6 minutes, until a brown crust begins to form underneath.

4. Turn the beef, break it into pieces, and continue to cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 1 minute.

5. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.

6. Divide the hummus among shallow bowls. Using the back of a spoon, smooth it into an even layer and create a wide divot in the centre.

7. Spoon the spiced beef and tomato mixture over the hummus, then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Aleppo-style pepper, if using.

8. Serve with lemon wedges, hot sauce, pickles, and pita on the side, if desired.
