Author: Kim

Ingredients

• 2 medium to large carrots, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger*
• 1/4 cup dried apricots
• 1 (13-15 oz.) can white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 cup tahini (ground sesame seed)**
• 1 lemon, juiced
• ¼ cup Sriracha hot sauce (or more or less, depending on spicy preference)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons water

Instructions 

• In a food processor or blender, add the carrots, garlic, ginger and apricots and blend until finely minced.
• Add the remaining ingredients except for water, and blend until smooth.
• Add one tablespoon of water at a time until hummus reaches desired consistency.
• Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with additional sriracha sauce, sesame seeds and poppy seeds, if desired. Enjoy with your favorite chip, cracker, or bread or use as a spread or salad topping.

Notes

*For fresh ginger, I like to use Dorot Gardens frozen herb cubes, found in the freezer section of your grocery store. You can also substitute the fresh ginger with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.

**Tahini is found in most all grocery stores, Target and Walmart. It is typically located near peanut and almond butter.
