Sear the venison loin on each side until golden brown, add blended spice mixture and put the loin in the oven for 3 minutes at 180 degrees and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Once it's rested, thinly slice the meat and plate with a generous amount of hummus and finish it off with dukkah, parsley & a generous drizzle of EVOO.
