I love making my own flat bread. It taste so fresh and easy to bake too! I saw on TV that people in Turkey and Greece, loves to have hummus together with this flatbread. So I decided to give it a go. But that is not without any hurdles....
Hurdle 1: Eric and his sis dislikes chick peas! Let alone eating hummus! =(
So I must make it yummy or else I won't be able to make it again >_<
Hurdle 2: I didn't have any good hummus recipes. So off to Mr Google. Found this recipe that uses peanut butter instead of the sesame paste. The reviews given were good, so I gave it a try.
Hurdle 3:In order to let Eric appreciate and likes the hummus I'm about to feed him, it will be good to let him know more about how his food was made. So I got him to help me out in the kitchen. That's not an easy task 'inviting' the boss to get off the computer screen and pick up the stick blender. Haha. Anyhow, Eric helped me to blend the chick peas n garlic into paste, and he seasoned the paste with salt, fresh limes. In the end, this was his master piece!
Oh it's so yummy! Like what many people commended online n in TV, hummus should be eaten warm! Not cold. And indeed the flavour were just right with the flat bread n lamb mince.
And you know what, this hummus recipes is a keeper! Both Eric n his sis loves it! =D (yay! I can make this again!)
The hummus recipe is from http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/peanut-butter-hummus.
For my lamb mince, my favourite seasoning are cumin, coriander seeds and black pepper. This gives seasoning like that of Northern Chinese and middle eastern crusine flavour.
Roast coriander seeds n whole black pepper in frying pan. When hot n fragrant, crushed them in motar n pestle with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Pound them into fine powder. Add cumin powder to the mix. Marinate the lamb with these spice seasoning. I never use measuring spoons for the spices, maybe a pinch each?
In hot frying pan, panfry the marinated mince lamb with some oil. When 3/4 cooked, take it out. Add in onions, carrots n other veges you like into the frypan n fry till cooked. When almost done, add back the half-cooked lamb. Add some water if too dry n create some sauce. Season to taste if needed.
Lamb taste best when served hot.
Enjoy!

The recipe you found for hummus using peanut butter but did you use peanut butter in your hummus? I love to eat lamb too. Never made my own hummus, just ate once in middle eastern cuisine restaurant.
Hi Mun, yes, I did add peanut butter it into my hummus. (try the crunchy ones) It mixes very well with the chick pea paste! =D My husband loves lamb. Sad thing is that I can't cook it daily as I will get too heaty with sore throat/fever if I had too much =(
