INGREDIENTS –

WALNUT AND CARROT HUMMUS:

1. 500gm of carrot
2. 400gm fresh chickpeas (can also use processed chickpeas)
3. 50gm of toasted walnuts
4. 3 garlic cloves
5. 2 tablespoons tahini sauce
6. 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
7. 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
8. 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Easy Tips for the preparation –

Tip 1: Toast the 1 cup sesame seeds. If you plan to toast the seeds, we recommend doing so on the stovetop and not in the oven. Sesame seeds are tiny and so they burn very easily. Over medium-low heat then stir constantly with a spoon until the seeds darken ever so slightly in color and become fragrant. When the sesame seeds have cooled, Put them into the bowl of our food processor, shut the lid then process until a crumbly paste begins to form. Add 3 – 4 tsp of neutral flavored oil and process into a smooth cream. To reach a similar consistency as store-bought, we’ve found 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil should do it. After more processing, a few stops to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and a little more processing after that, the tahini is done. Extra smooth and ready to use in whatever recipe you like.

Tip 2: To make it more convenient you can blend Chickpeas, Carrot, Walnut and Sesame seeds and other ingredients altogether. So you don’t need to add Tahini in it.

Tip 3: You can use ready made Tahini Sauce available in market in making this carrot hummus.
