Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Beef Steak Mince
  • 1 Small Onion Grated
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Crushed
  • 2 Tbsp Harissa Paste
  • 2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cumin and Ground Coriander
  • 400g Tin Chickpeas
  • 2 Tbsp Tahini
  • 100 ml Ice water
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Chopped Parsley, Pine Nuts and Pita Bread, to serve.

Instructions
 

  • Add the first six ingredients to a large mixing bowl with plenty of salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands and form into approximately 16 meatballs.
  • Cook the meatballs either in a frying pan over a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, Or in air fryer at 200C for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the hummus. In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, the tahini and a good grind of salt and pepper. Blitz until it blends to a paste. Add the ice water and blend for another 5 minutes. This may seem long, but is necessary to make a really smooth and creamy hummus. Add more ice water for a thinner consistency. Check the seasoning before serving.
  • Spread the hummus on a serving dish and top with the meatballs. Sprinkle over some more chopped parsley and some pine nuts. Serve with pita bread.
