Instructions
Whipped Feta:
In a food processor or blender, add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and airy.
If you find the mixture too thick, add a bit more heavy cream.
Roasted Tomatoes:
Toss the tomatoes with olive oil and air fry at 350-degrees for 8-10 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and begin to wrinkle, tossing halfway through. Or, roast them in a 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
Lamb:
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the lamb and onion and cook, breaking up the lamb with a spatula as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, drain the fat. Stir in the garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, and oregano. Season to taste, with salt and pepper. USDA recommends ground lamb reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
To Serve:
Spoon the lamb over the whipped feta. Top with the roasted tomatoes, parsley and pine nuts. Serve with warm flatbread.

Notes
This dip is best enjoyed right away, while the lamb is still warm. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
