Hummus is very popular in our house, great to nibble on as a dip, spread in sandwiches or boxed up for school lunches.
Serves 6.
Ingredients
250g dried chickpeas, around 575g cooked
2 garlic cloves
juice of 3 lemons
4 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 carrots, peeled and grated
250mls olive oil
salt and pepper
Method
Soak the chickpeas overnight, drain and pour into a large pan, add three times the quantity of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for one hour until cooked, it may take a little longer depending on your chickpeas.
Drain the chickpeas and allow to cool completely.
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and process to a smooth paste.

The carrots look like a nice addition. I’ll have to remember that.
Thanks Gerard 🙂 Ros
I love making home made hummus and will be adding carrot for a great twist. Check out our dips hummus & tzatziki & recipes on taste2taste.com great to share
Thanks linsolo93! 🙂 Ros
Carrots would be a nice addition. I’ve done versions with cilantro and lime and one blended with salsa, both of which have been tasty, but the sweetness of carrots could be a great addition. Thanks for the idea!
