VGL: Recipe for Chicken, hummus & chorizo

Ever wonder what to do with all the hummus that you buy or make?  A chef found an answer!
Somewhere in my dining travels I had delicious dish with an interesting twist: hummus and chorizo.  My dish was a baked fish served atop a mound of warm hummus that was garnished with chorizo (and it's delicious oil).  I just had to try this at home....

Today we had baked chicken legs but you can use anything: chicken breast, pork chops, fish etc.
Season your meat/fish as usual and cook
Just before your meat/fish is done, warm up the hummus on low heat..
Now, slice a piece of chorizo (I used slightly less than a 1/2 stick) and cook until crispy (it doesn't take long at all).
Remove chorizo from frying pan; reserve the flavored oil.

Get your plates ready:
Spoon some of the chorizo oil onto the center of each plate
Place a dollop of the warmed hummus in the middle of the plate (over the chorizo oil)
Carefully place the chorizo bits around the hummus
Gently arrange your meat/fish atop the hummus and enjoy!

Serve with a side of salad and a few of the vanilla cookies for dessert!  Oh la la!
