Carrots in a whole new light! Make this impressive side dish with an everyday veggie and a good choice of seasonings, and be sure to impress your guests. It’s really easy and the sweetness of roasted carrots, with the earthiness of cumin seeds and the creamy hummus dressing, is perfectly rounded off with juicy, sweet pomegranate rubies and peppery rocket.

There are many hummus recipes and various adaptions. This version is made with red lentils and chickpeas and served with a selection of roasted root veggies. Hummus is really versatile, as you can use it as an alternative to butter on a sandwich, in a wrap, as a dipping sauce, or dollop it onto a salad or roasted veg as a delicious dressing. It’s as delicious with meatballs or chicken.

Hummus (of hoemoes gespel en as ‘goemoes’ uitgespreek) is ’n bekende Griekse kekerertjie-‘patee’. Die veelsydige happie is heerlik om op soveel verskillende maniere te gebruik. Dis deesdae baie gewild en oral in supermarkte beskikbaar, maar min kan egter by ’n tuisgemaakte bakkie van dié gesonde lekkerte kersvashou.
This well-known, yet simple Middle Eastern chickpea condiment is super versatile and equally healthy – definitely more than just a dip for veggies. A good dollop of this oh-so-creamy, thick spread is divine on warm strips of pita, ciabatta or wholewheat toast. It’s typically combined with lamb or falafels in a pita or wrap, with fresh salad ingredients like cucumber, cabbage and tomato. What is your favourite way to enjoy hummus?

Hummus (of hoemoes gespel en as ‘goemoes’ uitgespreek) is ‘n bekende Mediterreense kekerertjie-‘patee’. Dis ’n smullekker happie op warm repe geroosterde pitabrood, as ’n doopsous met groente, koue frikkadelle of hoendervleis of op enige toebroodjies, om maar net ’n paar idees te noem.

I could eat roasted veggies any day, especially if there’s cumin added! I also love hummus and in this dish it makes the perfect sauce. These veggies are also really versatile, they can be enjoyed as a light vegetarian meal or as a side dish with roasted chicken. Use them in any salad or stir into couscous and a handful or two of fresh coriander, basil leaves and roasted nuts. They are great at room temperature as part of a lunch box or delicious on pizzas or in sandwiches.
