Carrot Harissa Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Combine harissa powder and 1 teaspoon chickpea liquid in a bowl. Whisk until a smooth paste forms, adding more liquid as needed. Set aside.
• Reserve about 1/2 cup of whole chickpeas for garnish. Add remaining chickpeas to the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, tahini, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and garlic; blend until smooth. Mix in reserved harissa paste and more chickpea liquid if needed, to maintain a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust olive oil and lemon juice amounts until flavor is smooth and nutty with a kick, and not overpowered by any one element.
• Transfer hummus to a serving dish. Top with reserved 1/2 cup chickpeas, olives, cilantro, harissa powder, and any remaining olive oil. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut 600g carrots into chunks and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin seeds and a garlic bulb, broken into cloves. Spread onto a baking tray and roast in the oven for 40 mins or until caramelised.
• Squeeze the cloves out of their skins and tip into a food processor with the carrots, juice of 1 lemon, 120ml extra virgin olive oil, the drained and rinsed chickpeas, and some seasoning. Blitz until smooth. Swirl through some spicy rose harissa. Serve with flatbreads.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, toss the carrots and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the cumin, salt and pepper. Roast until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until warm. Peel the garlic cloves.
• In a food processor, combine the roasted carrots and garlic with the tahini, cilantro, lemon juice and 5 tablespoons water. Pulse until smooth. With the processor running, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer to a serving bowl. Make a small well in the center of the hummus and fill with olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon cilantro over the top. Serve with crudites and pita chips.

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds peeled small carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat, covered, turning, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon harissa, 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander and a pinch each of salt and pepper; toss with the carrots. Top with torn mint and flaky salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium high heat; thoroughly clean grates and brush with oil. Toss carrots, 3 tablespoons harissa, half of the garlic, thyme, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Lay out a 12" sheet of heavy duty foil and scrape carrot mixture into the center. Fold over the sides and form a tight seal. Grill foil pack, turning once, until carrots are tender and lightly charred, 30-45 minutes. Keep wrapped and let cool slightly.
• Puree chickpeas, reserved liquid and tahini in a food processor until smooth and thick. Add remaining 1 tablespoon harissa, remaining garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, cooled carrots and accumulated juices, lemon juice and 2 teaspoons salt and puree until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining 2/3 cup oil and continue to process until creamy; adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, top with additional harissa, olive oil, thyme leaves and Aleppo pepper.
