Rutabaga Hummus
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Rutabaga – 4 cups coarsely chopped
  • Carrots – 2 cups coarsely chopped
  • Tahini – 1/4 cup tahini
  • Garlic – 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped
  • Lemon juice – 1.5 tablespoons freshly squeezed
  • White miso – Optional: 1 tablespoon
  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Garnish:
  • Sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon, toasted
  • Thyme – 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Red pepper flakes – 1 teaspoon
  • Sea salt – 1 teaspoon coarse (I love sel gris!)

Preparation

  1. Fill a medium pot with water and salt it generously. Taste the water – it should remind you of an accidental ocean gulp. Add the rutabaga and carrots, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  2. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables from the pot to a food processor. (Save the broth for making soup).
  3. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and miso to the food processor. Whip into a puree.
  4. While blending, pour the olive oil in a steady stream to bind the flavors and create a smoother consistency. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of the vegetable broth at a time.
  5. Garnish with a swirl of olive oil and sesame seeds, thyme, red pepper flakes and sea salt.
