Top tip for parents
Using a ready-made product, such as houmous, is a good way to
encourage children to experiment with adding flavours to something they already like. You can also
try adding chopped ripe tomatoes, sliced spring onion, mashed avocado or puréed red peppers.
Method
-
Grate the cooked
carrot – don’t
worry if it turns to
mush, this is what
you want.
-
Tip the
houmous into
a bowl, add the
carrot and mix well.
-
Add a squeeze
of lemon juice,
but mind you don’t
squirt it in your eyes.
-
Snip the
coriander into
little pieces using
scissors and stir it
into the houmous.
Serve with the
toasted pitta bread
