Ingredients

8 total
  • 3 carrots, washed and sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tsp of cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp of turmeric
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of light tahini
  • 400 g of cannellini beans, drained
  • 1 tbsp of lemon juice

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the carrots in a saucepan with enough water to cover them and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer until tender (about 8 mins).

  2. Step 2

    Drain (reserving the water), and put the carrots into a blender or mini chopper with the rest of the ingredients. Blend to a smooth paste, adding a little carrot water if too thick.

  3. Step 3

    Season to taste, then keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
