Description

Warm spiced ground beef, a swoosh of creamy hummus and fresh mint all lend this dish its signature Middle Eastern flair. They also create a remarkable taste and texture pairing. The beef becomes rich and savoury, simmering away with shallot and a hit of sherry vinegar. Roasted sumac-spiced sweet potatoes and beets are cooled by a seasoned feta and mint garnish. Tuck pita on the side, and drizzle apple-tahini vinaigrette over the whole plate to bring in a velvet touch.
