Loaded hummus bowl with merguez meatballs. Tender and super flavorful meatballs together with a crunchy salad, crispy chickpeas and even some pine nuts too. Served up bowl-style with some fresh naan. This next-level dinner is super easy to make and beyond delicious. Add this into your weekly dinner rotation, serve as an appetizer at your next dinner party, or prep ahead of time and enjoy for lunch.
While you can use your favorite store-bought hummus here, nothing beats the homemade stuff. This hummus recipe is super silky and creamy, though it’s not only the hummus base, but also the combination of juicy meatballs, fresh cucumber-tomato salad, briny peppers and spice toppings that will have everyone asking for more naan to dip.
And the merguez meatballs? These are not just any ordinary meatballs. The mixture of spices, chickpeas and pine nuts cooked together, brings a whole explosion of flavor.
This meal is absolutely doable on a weeknight. If you can blend the hummus and roll the meatballs beforehand, your dinner will be ready 15 minutes. That said, it requires a little of hands-on time. Why not make it easy and prep most of it in advance?
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
