Spiced Beef Hummus Pita Pizza

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet heat the ghee {butter} over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper and sumac and continue to sauté for 7-8 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for two minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the skillet and set aside once toasted.

  5. 5

    Set your four pita rounds on two baking sheets. Start by spreading a thin layer of hummus on each pita followed by the cooked ground beef divided among the four pitas and continue to do the same with the diced tomatoes, fresh parsley and toasted pine nuts.

  6. 6

    Toast the pitas for 10 minutes, or until the pita becomes toasted and slightly crispy.

Notes

Try adding feta cheese to these pita pizzas. If you can't find ghee {I found mine at Trader Joes and you can also find it as most ethnic and Middle Eastern markets}, you can use olive oil or butter in its place. You can use whatever hummus you like. I tend to go with garlic or classic for this recipe but feel free to mix things up! Try adding a drizzle of plain yogurt to each pita pizza.
