Israeli Chef Shares Easy Recipe for Mushroom and Meat Hummus on 'Shabbat Flavors'

Ornit Poran Swissa, health and education reporter for News 14, will appear on the cooking show "Shabbat Flavors" with chef Avi Levi this Friday. Together, they will prepare a rich and comforting dish of mushroom and meat hummus, ideal for a family Shabbat dinner. The recipe combines seasoned ground meat, sautéed mushrooms, and warm hummus, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal.

The hummus base is made by blending one cup of 'Humix' chickpeas, half a cup of raw tahini, ice water to desired consistency, a pinch of salt, a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice, and two tablespoons of olive oil until smooth. For the meat topping, the recipe calls for 200 grams of ground meat, a package of chopped champignon mushrooms, one chopped onion, and one crushed garlic clove, all cooked in olive oil with spices including sweet paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and a touch of nutmeg.

The cooking process involves frying the onion until golden, adding the ground meat and cooking thoroughly, then mixing in garlic, mushrooms, and spices. The dish is served by spreading the hummus on a plate, topping it with the meat and mushroom mixture, and garnishing with parsley.

This recipe is a collaboration between Rami Levi, Topline Communications, Humix, Yona Spices, and Marina Mushrooms. It offers a simple, quick, and delicious option for those seeking a hearty Shabbat meal.
