Carrot Hummus

Posted 2017-04-08 by Maryana ⇒ follow

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.
