Make Hummus

• Add carrots, garlic, lemon juice, red curry paste, jam to a blender (I use a VitaMix)

• Grind to coarse paste.

• Add beans, tahini, oil, and salt (or substitute salt with 2 teaspoons of Better Then Bullion Sautéed Onions)

• Grind to a smooth and creamy paste. If the mix is too thick to grind, add water a little.

• Serve topped with more EVOO, freshly crushed black pepper, sunflower/pumpkin seeds or just like that. Enjoy with Pita Chips, Naan Bread or Falafels or make it into a salad dressing with a little extra oil and rice wine vinegar to thin it out.
