Step 1

Roughly chop the carrots and simmer in a pan with just enough water to cover. As soon as they're cooked remove from the heat and drain. Keep the water.

Step 2

Blitz everything but the olive oil in a food processor or blender until you have a paste. Or for a chunkier texture, simply mash with a fork.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and whizz again until everything is well incorporated and you have a smooth dip.

Step 4

If the mixture is a bit too thick, add some of the carrot cooking water.
