Roasted carrot and honey hummus

This may be my favourite hummus flavour combo. I know, big call. It’s super simple and keeps well in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

The quantity is perfect if you’re into bulk-making sauces/dips/spreads like I am.

What you’ll need:

2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp tahini

1 can chickpeas, drained

1 tsp ground cumin

3 tsp honey

3 tbsp olive oil

Salt

How to make it:

  1. In an oven tray, lay the carrots and cover with cumin, 1 tsp honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until soft.
  2. In a food processor, add carrots, tahini, chickpeas, and remaining honey and oil. Blend until smooth.

Serve as a platter with roasted carrots on top, or as a dip with bread, crackers or fresh vegetables.

Enjoy!

Home made aioli

I love this aioli recipe for so many reasons. It’s been a family classic for as long as I can remember, always making its way on to the table no matter what was served (pasta, pizza, potluck, rice, couscous, potato; the list goes on!)

What you’ll need:

2 eggs

2 cups canola oil

1 tsp wholegrain mustard

1 tsp salt

1 tsp white sugar

2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp red wine vinaigrette

Handful of fresh herbs (you can use basil, parsley, oregano or thyme)

How to make it:

  1. In a food processor, add eggs, mustard, salt, sugar and garlic. Blend until combined.
  2. When the food processor is on, slowly add all the oil (you should be drizzling it in) until the texture is thick and creamy.
  3. Add the red wine vinaigrette and herbs until they’re mixed in.

Enjoy!
