Carrot dip

This recipe is a family favourite.  It is a quick, easy and deliciously tasty dip which is packed with vitamins and minerals so, unlike many other dips, it is actually good for you!  I most recently served this with olive oil crackers, the recipe for which I will post tomorrow.

Ingredients

• --
• 500g carrots
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp wine vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ½ - 1 tsp chilli powder
• Salt to taste

Method

• --
• 1. Peel the carrots and chop them into roughly 5 pieces. Place in a saucepan of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cooked. A good way to test this is to stick a sharp knife into one of the larger pieces.
• 2. Drain the carrots and blend them together with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
• 3. Serve with olive oil crackers.
