Hummus is a popular mezze (appetizer) dish at Middle-Eastern table and restaurant menus. However, you can easily transform it into a rich meal when you add it to spiced fried beef.

The combination of warm spiced beef with the creamy garlicky chickpea dip creates an amazing taste especially if eaten with freshly baked pita bread and some green salad on the side.
