Looking to spice up your meal routine? These Ground Lamb Hummus Bowls are as delicious as they are easy to prepare.
These bowls start with a base of buttery orzo flavored with turmeric, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt, making it both incredibly flavorful and a beautiful, vibrant color. Next, you add the perfectly spiced and browned ground lamb, then top with fresh veggies, herbs, feta, hummus, and a squeeze of lemon.
The flavors in these Ground Lamb Hummus Bowls work so well together, and make this a delightfully refreshing and filling meal.
