Carrot hummus


I love hummus. I love dipping carrots in there, and putting it on my crackers.
And then I thought, what if I put the carrot IN the hummus? Carrot hummus. I wonder if this amazing invention has been thought of before (it has).
So I powered through the stupidity of realising I hadn’t googled this before, and just decided to make it up on my own. So here it is. 

1 can chickpeas, drained
4 carrots, chopped, boiled and drained
½ onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tahina
Salt and pepper
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, crushed

Put it all in the food processor, and blend until smooth. 

This makes quite a lot of hummus, maybe 2 cups, so either get ready to eat it every day for like a week or two, or plan to use on a nibblies platter.
