Prepare the Hummus: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cumin. Process until smooth.
Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Cook the Lamb: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the halal ground lamb to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in cinnamon, allspice, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the lamb mixture. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Toast the Pine Nuts: In a separate dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
Assemble: Spread the hummus on a serving plate. Top with the warm spiced lamb and toasted pine nuts.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately with pita bread or vegetables for dipping.
