Instructions
In a large frying pan, over medium heat, add olive oil. Finely chop your onion and add it to the hot oil. Slowly cook the onion until soft and lightly caramelised, stirring occasionally - about 15 minutes. Add your garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
In another small pan over medium heat toast your pine nuts until golden brown and fragrant, you can do this with or without oil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the garlic has softened add your baharat and salt. Stir to combine and cook for a minute, until fragrant. Add your mincemeat and salt, turn the heat to medium-high, and saute until all the meat is fully cooked. Remove from heat.
On a large serving plate, scoop your hummus and create a slight 'well' in the center. Scoop the hot mincemeat into the center. Sprinkle pine nuts on top and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately, or shortly thereafter at room temperature.
Notes
As a main course this will serve 6, as part of a mezze it will serve 8-10 people.
