3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads and 1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Add 2 tablespoons of hummus (store-bought or homemade).
7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors have melded.
8. Garnish with extra cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil before serving. Serve with couscous or crusty bread for a complete meal.
