Naked Hummus with Ground Beef

This is a real treat in our home, as we eat more fish and vegetables than beef, but we love it just the same. It’s delicious served with a side of chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and pickles (onions or scallions optional), lightly dressed with tahini dressing. The hummus can also be dressed with a drizzling of extra-virgin olive oil, chopped Italian parsley, warm chickpeas and pine nuts without the ground beef for a vegan version.
