INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 35-37 min (ou moins si vous utilisez un Instant Pot pour le riz)
- Servings: 3-4 or more
- Preparation Time: 5 min
- 1 1/2 cups (200 g) peeled and diced carrots (2 to 3 medium chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) untoasted sesame or olive oil
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 small garlic clove
- 3 packed tablespoons (6 g) chopped carrot tops (or cilantro or dill), or more to taste
- 1 (14-ounce/398 mL) can chickpeas* (optional- you can leave this out and just put a bit more tahini, if needed)
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) tahini
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
- 4 tablespoons (60 mL) water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) untoasted sesame oil or light olive oil, to taste
- 3/4 to 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, to taste
- For garnish:
- Ground cumin, ground coriander, and/or fresh minced carrot tops (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the diced carrots on the roasting pan. Toss them in the teaspoon of oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for 32 to 37 minutes, until carrots are fork-tender and blackened on the bottom.
- About 5 to 10 minutes before your carrots are done roasting, place the garlic and fresh carrot tops into a large food processor. Process until minced.
- Drain the chickpeas over a small bowl.
- Next add the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, water, oil, and salt. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the side of the processor as necessary.
- When the carrots are ready, carefully transport them to the processor using the parchment paper as a handle to carry. Process the mixture again until smooth. I like to let the machine run for a couple minutes so it gets as smooth as possible. Taste and adjust ingredients as desired. Feel free to add more carrot tops, lemon, salt, oil or water depending on your preferences.
- Serve the hummus with a sprinkle of ground cumin, coriander, and fresh minced carrot tops, plus a drizzle of sesame or olive oil, if desired. Leftover dip will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 to 7 days.
