Recipe: Carrot Hummus

I found myself with a large pile of carrots that needed using from my last veggie box delivery, so decided to something a little different and make a carrot hummus to take with me to work and snack on during the week. The recipe is from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Veg Everyday cookbook and it was both simple and delicious – just how I like recipes to be!

    Wow, this sounds amazing! I’ve never heard of hummus without the chickpeas. Off to see Neil Young at Day on the Green this weekend so I might do a batch of this to add to the picnic hamper. Thanks for the recipe!

      Neither had I! It’s pretty tasty, although I think next time I’ll add more garlic and lemon juice than I did this time. Neil Young should be amazing – very jealous! Let’s hope the weather plays nice for you!
