Ingredients
- Chickpeas (drained)300g
- Carrots (raw)300g
- Plain tahini (raw)30g
- Lemon juice (raw)25ml
- Garlic (raw)5g
- Cucumber (raw)150g
- Plain flour tortillas (cooked)4 pieces
- Olive oil (raw)15ml
- Salt (dry)3g
- Black pepper (dry)1g
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Cut 300g carrots into sticks about 1cm thick and 5cm long. Toss with 15ml olive oil, 3g salt and 1g black pepper and spread in one layer.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until the thick ends are tender and edges brown. If the outside darkens first, lower to 180°C and cover loosely for 5 minutes, then uncover.
- Drain 300g chickpeas and mash thoroughly with 30g plain tahini, 25ml lemon juice and finely minced 5g garlic. Add cold drinking water a spoonful at a time until thick and spreadable. A fork gives a coarse hummus; continue mashing if any whole chickpeas remain.
- Cut 150g cucumber into 5mm sticks. Warm 4 pieces plain flour tortillas briefly in a dry pan. Spread the hummus, add carrots and cucumber, then fold the sides and roll. Serve the hummus cold or cool; it needs no reheating.
- The displayed quantities already match your selected servings. For 1 or 2 servings, use a smaller pan and check early; keep the stated cut sizes. For 4 servings use a broad pan or uncrowded trays; for 8 split every ingredient evenly into two 4-serving batches (more if the pan or pot capacity requires it). Keep pans below 80% full and vegetables in one layer when browning. Repeat the cooking and doneness checks for each batch; elapsed time increases for sequential batches. Serve promptly. Cool any extra cooked food in shallow containers and refrigerate within two hours, or one hour above 32°C. Keep the fridge at 4°C or below. Reheat cooked leftovers evenly to 74°C, checking several places with a food thermometer. Keep raw garnishes and cold yogurt or tahini sauces separate and use them cold within their label limits.
