Growing up, we ate this almost every Saturday morning for breakfast along with a smorgasbord of other items on the table. Traditionaly Middle Easterners will serve it one of two ways. 1. Brown ground lamb & onions seasoned with salt, pepper, allspice & a tad of nutmeg. Spoon over hummus. 2. Brown 3 tbsp pine nuts or slivered almonds in 2 tbsp butter. Sprinkle over hummus.
