Are you a fan of appetizers and sandwich spreads? Here's an idea tantalizing and tasty: hummus, carrot and purple.

The purple carrot have an aftertaste, more sweet than those of the orange, and combine well with the chickpeas. As a cooking method I chose to cook in steam, to have more lightness.

Among other ingredients that I propose, the cumin seeds give the incisive spicy note, the sesame sauce (tahina) flavor and the almonds help to make you “full-bodied” the consistency of the hummus, which is prepared easily and you can do in advance, storing in the refrigerator.

You can spread it on slices of bread or on crackers as you can eat it with bread sticks or bread carasau.

I am in love with its delicate flavor and its beautiful color... and you?

Notes Who want, before blending, you can also add 1-2 teaspoons of plain yogurt, lean... will increase the creaminess! With these doses are two cups iFood https://www.ifood.it/

If you do not find the purple carrot, you can use of course, the “classic” ones. And if you prefer, you can also cook a roast in the oven
