Ingredients
- 1 x 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 250g baby carrots
- 1 pot of parsley
Method
Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and tahini into a food processor and blitz to a smooth consistency. Loosen with 1–2 tbsp water if it seems a little thick.
Make a hole in the top of each carrot with a skewer or by cutting a small hole with the tip of a sharp knife. Dab a small amount of hummus into the hole and push in a small sprig of parsley.
Spoon the hummus into thoroughly cleaned small, plant pots or bowls and push in the carrots. Let the children dunk into the hummus with the carrots.
