Hummus is one of my favourite dips. I often add an extra ingredient to it. For example, mashed Roasted Pumpkin is a great addition. Roasted Carrot is also very nice. Today I cooked a Carrot to make this dip but it was worth it. The sweet caramelised Carrot adds a lovely flavour to Hummus. I enjoyed it with some slices of crusty Bread. So good…

2 Servings

Ingredients

1 Carrot
*Note: Today I cooked 1 Carrot that weighed 140g and I had 70g after cooked and mashed.
Salt
1 to 2 teaspoons Olive Oil *plus extra
Hummus *about same weight as mashed Carrot
Ground Black Pepper

Method

1. If you have Roasted Carrot, mash it with a fork, season with Salt & Pepper if required, and mix with Hummus.
2. If you cook Carrot just for this dip, peel Carrot if you want to do so, trim the ends, slice to 2-3mm thin, and cook in slightly salted water until soft. Drain and cook with Olive Oil over medium heat until caramelised. You can use a saucepan OR non-stick frying pan to do this process.
3. Mash the Carrot with a fork, coarsely OR finely, season with Salt and Black Pepper, and combine with Hummus. Add some extra Black Pepper and drizzle with Olive Oil if you like, and enjoy with Crusty Bread, Flatbread, Biscuits, etc.
