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!

Satay sauce

This satay sauce is probably most made recipe of all time. I think there are a few reasons why: they’re all my go-to flavours, it’s super easy and not to mention, freaking delicious!

You can serve this satay sauce with rice paper rolls, dumplings, stir fry, or anything similar.

What you’ll need:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 clove fresh garlic, finely diced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

3 generous tbsp peanut butter (my favourite is Fix & Fogg’s Super Crunchy)

Half a fresh lime (or you can use 2 tbsp lime juice)

1 tbsp sweet thai chilli sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp fish sauce

2 tbsp warm water (or more depending on how you like the consistency)

How to make it:

  1. In a small saucepan with olive oil, combine the garlic, ginger, peanut butter, lime juice, sweet thai chilli sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce.
  2. Whisk together all the ingredients, until it starts to form a sauce consistency.
  3. Depending on how you like the consistency (runny or more solid), you can add warm water and keep stirring.

Enjoy!
