Hummus with Caramelized Beef and Pita Chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. Slice pitas in half through the diameter. Then peel each half apart and tear so you have 4 pieces from each pita.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt.

  4. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of the pita pieces with the olive oil mixture.

  5. Slice each piece into 3 or 4 triangles.

  6. Place the oiled pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chips for even cooking and bake until lightly golden brown and crispy on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes longer.

  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

  9. Preheat a medium skillet or saucepan over high heat.

  10. Add the olive oil and beef to the hot pan and cook, stirring constantly, until seared and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.

  11. Add the cumin, sumac, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.

  12. Continue to cook, while stirring, until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.

  13. Remove from the heat.

  14. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and garlic and blend until it becomes a stiff paste.

  15. Add the lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and salt and continue to process.

  16. Add the ice water, ice cubes, and olive oil and blend until smooth and creamy.

  17. Add ½ to 1 tablespoon more water to obtain your desired consistency.

  18. Place the hummus on a serving platter and use the back of a spoon to create waves on top.

  19. Top the hummus with the hot beef, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling sumac and fresh parsley.

  20. Serve with fresh pita chips on the side.
