Carrot Hummus
Hummus is probably one of the most popular foods in the whole world. No wonder, it can be found in most conventional grocery stores. You can skip the store-bought version and make your own hummus at home.
Based on your preferences, you can make the hummus thicker or thinner. As you can see from the picture above, I love my hummus to be paste-like. If desired, you can add water or oil to the recipe, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach dipping consistency.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 cups
Ingredients
1 cup chopped carrots
1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ teaspoon cumin, ground
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
Olive oil, optional
Method
In a small saucepan, cook the carrots, covered, for about 10 minutes or until tender; drain the carrots.
In a blender, combine the carrots, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and salt.
Cover and blend until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a small bowl. Stir in the parsley. If desired, add the oil or water, to reach a thinner texture.
Transfer the hummus to a plate and serve with the vegetables.
You can store the hummus for up to a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
