Cooking With Olive Oil
Eat Well|Issue #27, 2019
Olive oil is a wonderful food. As a central part of the Mediterranean diet we know that it confers many health benefits, but it is also a beautifully tasty addition to a wide variety of meals. Good-quality cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil will be fruity with a hint of bitterness and a touch of peppery bite. Enjoy the health benefits and tasty joy of olive in dishes such as: Gluten-Free Peach & Almond Olive Oil Cake; Roasted Carrot Hummus; Rose & Apricot Olive Oil Cake; Smokey Brain-Boosting Mayo; Olive Oil Aioli; Warm Olive Oil & Dijon Dressed Salad with Speck; and Orange & Olive Oil Dressed Salad with Pistachios & Figs.
Cooking With Olive Oil

Roasted Carrot Hummus

Recipe / Lisa Guy

Carrots give this tasty hummus a boost in betacarotene which is needed to make vitamin A in the body and promote healthy eyes and vision. Beta-carotene is also an excellent anti-inflammatory. Serves: 8

5 large carrots, peeled

2 tins chickpeas, drained well

¼ cup cold-pressed olive oil Juice

1 lemon

3 heaped tbsp tahini

1 heaped tsp cumin

1 heaped tsp paprika Pinch sea salt

½ cup water

Preheat oven to 200°C and line baking tray with baking paper.

Place carrots on baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake for about 20 mins until cooked through.

Place carrots and remaining ingredients (except water) in food processor and blend until smooth and well combined. Add water gradually until desired consistency is reached, add more water if needed.

Serve hummus topped with drizzle of olive oil, roasted baby carrots or roasted chickpeas and sprinkling of paprika.

Delicious with toasted flatbreads, sourdough, crackers and vegie sticks.
