Chocolate Hummus in a Jar - Decadent Valentine's Day Present
Greetings Chocolate & Hummus
Lovers!
Indulge in this
uniquely flavored hummus, which combines the earthy sweetness of roasted
rainbow carrots with the warm spice of garam masala and the richness of cocoa.
You can enjoy it a variety of pairings, including cookies, crackers,
sliced apples, pears, oranges, carrots, radishes and much more.
So, let's get started with the
recipe!
Ingredients (serving size 6):
1
Bunch rainbow carrots
1 Can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained, rinsed and pad dried with paper towel
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened baking cocoa)
1/4 Tsp. garam masala spice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tsp. orange zest
1/4 Tsp. sea salt
1/2 Cup fresh orange juice
1 tbsp. grand marnier (optional)
Instructions:
Carrots: Prepare the carrots by peeling,
washing, and patting them dry. Next, slice them into 2-inch diagonal wedges.
Combine the carrot wedges in a bowl with olive oil and sea salt, then toss
thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.
Roasting: Roast the carrots in a preheated
450°F oven for 25 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a Pyrex pan. After
roasting, let them cool for 30 minutes.
Hummus: Add the roasted rainbow
carrots, chickpeas, cocoa powder, garam masala, orange zest, and orange juice
to a food processor. Process the ingredients until a smooth, creamy consistency
is achieved, thinning with additional orange juice if necessary.
Serving: Transfer chocolate hummus in a
bowl and garnish with orange or blood orange slices and a few rose petals and
enjoy it with sliced carrots, apples, pears, crackers, almond cookies, and much
more!
