ROASTED CARROT HUMMUS

Steps:

• Toss 1 pound chopped carrots, 2 unpeeled garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees F, stirring once, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly; peel the garlic. Combine the carrots, garlic, 3 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 lemon and 5 tablespoons water in a food processor and puree. With the motor running, slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and top with olive oil and chopped cilantro.

RAW CASHEW CHICKPEA HUMMUS!

Steps:

• In food processor or mortar and pestle grind cashews and garlic until small.
• Add in chickpeas (see note below on how to sprout them), ginger, salt and spices/herbs. Grind until chickpeas are small bits.
• Add in lemon/lime juice and olive oil and blend until smooth. You may need to add a splash of water to reach desired consistency (smooth but not runny).
• That's it your ready to eat enjoy!
• How to sprout chickpeas: Rinse and soak 1 cup of dried chickpeas for 12-24 hours, if soaking for 24 hours rinse and add new water half way through. After they have soaked rinse and place in a large clean glass jar and place cheesecloth over the top with an elastic. Place on its side so the chickpeas get a lot of air circulation in a well lit room. Chickpeas will take 1-4 days to sprout and will need to be rinsed 2-3 times a day. They are ready to eat when the "tail" is 1/4-1/2 inch long :).
