Prepare the Classic Hummus according to directions or purchase hummus in the store and spread out on a platter in a thin layer.
Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium high head and add ground lamb. Begin breaking down with a wooden spoon into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle with All-Purpose Lebanese Spice Blend and continue cooking until lamb is browned and cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, remove hot lamb and place directly onto the hummus platter. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds as well as parsley and/or olive oil if you wish. Serve with pita bread.

While I usually use classic hummus, you can also use roasted garlic hummus for this recipe.

I love my homemade hummus, but you can make this with storebought as well!
