IMBB#14: Moroccan carrot dip

With left-over carrot mash from my tarka dhal on-hand, I decided to turn this into a Moroccan carrot dip for my second submission for IMBB#14: Orange You Hungry.



Moroccan Carrot Dip
1 cup cooked carrot
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinammon
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Puree or mash the cooked carrot and combine with remaining ingredients.

The end.



This would probably bind better with a splash of olive oil and perhaps some lemon juice or red wine vingar, but if you like it chunky and/or healthy, these can be omitted.

You could experiment with any number of spices according to your preference/adventurousness. I could quite easily see a couple of variations incorporating olives, walnuts or extra ginger.

This was dead easy to whip up, using ingredients that are readily available in any kitchen. I'll have to remember this one for the next impromptu picnic or dinner party.
