In this cross-cultural creation, lamb ham with an Indian flavor profile serves as a topper for a more traditional Mediterranean-inspired hummus, with tortilla chips rounding out the dish. “It’s remarkably versatile, refined, balanced, approachable and really delicious,” says Chef Michael Slavin of the charcuterie-style Aussie Select lamb. The complete build sees the white bean hummus supported not only by the bits of crispy lamb ham, but also halloumi- and gherkin-stuffed olives, crumbled feta, basil oil and fresh cracked black pepper. “Brininess comes from the halloumi, feta and olives. Astringency is produced by the turmeric and beans and satiation is delivered by the lamb and tahini,” he adds.
