Pair spiced lamb mince with creamy hummus and pita bread for a substantial snack.

1 tbs olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
500g lean lamb mince
2 tsp Moroccan spice mix*
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup chopped mint leaves
2 cups rocket leaves
1/3 cup low-fat hummus
4 wholemeal pita bread pockets, toasted, torn into large pieces

Method

1.

Heat oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Increase the heat to medium-high, add lamb, spice mix and some salt and pepper, and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until lamb is evenly browned and any liquid has evaporated. Strain off any excess fat, then transfer the lamb mixture to a bowl. Stir in the tomatoes and mint leaves, then season to taste.
2.

Divide the rocket leaves among plates and top with lamb mixture and a dollop of hummus. Serve immediately with pita.
