I used Ninja
- 2 cups/300g of carrots peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons of tahini paste
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 clove of garlic chopped
- Juice from half a lemon
- 2 tsp of cold water
- salt and pepper to taste
Put the carrots in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. You may need to stop to scrape the side a few times.
Add the tahini, garlic, water, salt, cumin, and lemon juice, and blitz again until you have a course orange paste. Again, you may need to stop a few times to scrape the sides and to ensure all the ingredients are combined evenly.
Taste the hummus and add more salt/pepper/lemon juice if needed.
Serve straight away, or keep wrapped in a plastic box for a day or two in the fridge.
SWAPS:
Young beetroot makes a lovely alternative to the carrot and will give you a glorious purple hummus.
You can replace the cumin with coriander or fennel seeds for a subtly different character.
Store the leftover carrot hummus in the fridge and consume within 2 days.
