MOROCCAN CARROT HUMMUS DIP



Moroccan Carrot Hummus Dip image

This hummus is super creamy, sweet and light from mixing steamed carrots, cumin and orange in with the traditional chickpeas and tahini. Yogurt adds some tang and a pesto made from the carrot tops adds a salty earthy bite. If you don't have carrots with tops, just double the mint.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup pine nuts
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 bunches medium carrots with nice tops
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1/3 cup tahini, well-stirred
Kosher salt
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
Toasted pita triangles, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts on one side of a baking sheet and the cumin seeds on the other side, not mixing the two together. Toast the nuts and spices until fragrant and browning in spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool.
  • Cut the tops off the carrots and reserve. Peel the carrots and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Fill a medium wide-mouthed pot with 2 inches of water. Set a collapsible steamer basket insert into the pot, then bring to a simmer over high heat. Put the carrots in the steamer basket and cook, covered, until the largest pieces are tender when pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Puree the carrots and chickpeas with a food processor until blended. Add the orange juice, tahini, reserved cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons salt and continue to process until the mixture is smooth and light and very well blended, about 5 minutes, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Transfer the carrot hummus to a medium bowl and reserve.
  • Pick 1/2 cup packed leaves off of the stems of the carrot tops and reserve. Discard the stems. Pulse the garlic and all but 1 teaspoon of the pine nuts in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add the carrot top leaves, mint, 1/4 teaspoon salt and all but 1/4 teaspoon of the orange zest and pulse until finely chopped. With the processor on, slowly drizzle in the oil and process until blended well.
  • Spread half of the carrot hummus in the bottom of a medium glass serving bowl. Spread 1/2 cup Greek yogurt on top. Spread the remaining carrot hummus over that. Spread the pesto into a wide circle in the center and drop a dollop of the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt in the center of the pesto. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon pine nuts and 1/4 teaspoon orange zest. Serve with toasted pita triangles.

HONEY ROASTED CARROT AND HUMMUS SANDWICHES



Honey Roasted Carrot and Hummus Sandwiches image

Fat, diagonal slices of carrot are tossed in a honey and olive oil glaze, sprinkled with sea salt, and roasted until golden. While they're roasting you can whip up a batch of basic hummus, or fancy it up if you like. This recipe makes way more hummus than you need for the sandwiches, enjoy the leftovers as a dip with veggies, or with some crackers. You can also use pre-made hummus, as I did. This recipe came from the food blog, The Muffin Myth.

Provided by elisechristiane

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 -8 slices multigrain bread, depending on how many sandwiches you want to make
4 large carrots
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
3 cups cooked chickpeas
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini paste
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 200 C / 400°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel your carrots if you like (I did only for aesthetics, if you're using organic carrots don't bother, just give 'em a good scrub, but if your carrots aren't organic then please peel them), then slice them on a sharp diagonal so you get long slices, about 1/2 cm thick.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together honey and olive oil. If your honey isn't the runny type just heat it slightly until it is a bit liquidy. Add the carrot slices to the bowl, then toss so everything is well coated in the honey glaze.
  • Arrange carrot slices on the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Pop into the oven, and roast until they are soft and slightly brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool.
  • While the carrots are roasting you can make the hummus. In the bowl of a food processor combine, chickpeas, olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, water, and tahini. Pulse a few times, then process, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Taste the hummus and decide whether you want to use the rest of the lemon juice (I did). Add a bit of salt and pepper, and the cumin. Process again, then taste again and decide whether you need more salt.
  • Decide how many sandwiches you want to make. I always start my sandwiches by toasting the bread, especially if I'm making a few at a time to pack for lunches. For each sandwich, spread both slices of bread generously with hummus. Arrange slices of honey roasted carrots in either a single layer (for four sandwiches) or a double layer (for two extra carroty sandwiches) over one slice of the bread. Top with the other slice of bread, and either store in the fridge for up to three days or enjoy immediately.

SILKY CARROT HUMMUS



Silky Carrot Hummus image

This yummy and healthy dip/spread recipe comes from the wonderful book "Mon premier dîner végétarien" by Alice Hart. It makes for a very soft, silky hummus that has a slightly sweet flavour from the carrots.

Provided by Lalaloula

Categories     Spreads

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large carrot, chopped
1 pinch salt
1 (175 g) can chickpeas, drained (can soak and cook your own equivalent, too)
1/2 tablespoon tahini (I used white tahini)
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or use lemon juice)
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Cook carrot with the pinch of salt in boiling water until very tender (about 8 minutes). Drain and combine with the other ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Blend until smooth. I used a hand-held blender for this and left a few chunks of carrot intact for texture.
  • Serve with dippers of your choice.

Tips:

  • For the smoothest hummus, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
  • If you don't have a high-powered blender or food processor, you can also mash the ingredients together with a fork or potato masher.
  • To make the hummus even creamier, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil or tahini.
  • If you want a more flavorful hummus, add some roasted garlic, cumin, or paprika.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.

Conclusion:

Carrot hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it smooth or chunky, spicy or mild, carrot hummus is a versatile dish that is sure to please everyone.
