Loaded Lamb Hummus

Loaded Lamb Hummus

Sharing is caring!

I am not sure where I got this idea.  Probably from Pinterest, but that doesn’t matter.  What does matter is how freaking good this Loaded Lamb Hummus is!  We were eating a different version of loaded hummus all winter, with roasted veggies.  Then I saw a post somewhere and decided to change things up, and ever since this has become a weekly meal on our table.

Loaded Lamb Hummus

Not only is this recipe loaded with lamb, which happens to be in season right now, but there is also kale, Harissa, Feta, and did I mention, Harissa?  I am not even sure where I should start, but I will say it again, this is freaking good!  I am already scheming on some springtime and summer versions to create over the next six months.  It is about to become a hummus kind of year.  Are you ready for it?

What makes this recipe even more amazing besides being so tasty is that it is a meal all in one.  Nothing else really matters except for some warm pita.  If you are really starving then add a lightly tossed green salad, as in simple greens with a squirt of fresh lemon juice.  Nothing crazy as you want to enjoy all the flavors in this recipe.
