It will take you less time to make this dish than it takes to sing the National Carrot Day anthem.

INgredients

1 thick carrot

2 Tablespoons hummus

1 generous teaspoon umeboshi plum paste

Process Trim the ends of the carrot and scrape off any tiny hairs, brown or rough spots on its skin. Use a carrot cucumber sharpener peeler gadget that looks and works like a pencil sharpener to create pieces like pencil shavings. Place the point of the carrot in the sharpener.

To create one carrot flower, turn the carrot in the sharpener about 7 times; then break it off. The fan-shaped peel will naturally coil up into a horn-shaped “flower”.

Make four (or more) of them and place them on a plate.

Fill each cone-shaped “flower” with a half Tablespoon of hummus.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

My daughter had her 10th birthday celebration with Nancy over zoom (due to Covid 19). They cooked a delicious meal for 8 people, which all adults and kids enjoyed. Nancy is fabulous in making cooking fun, nourishing, educational, and spiritual. My daughter also did a few cooking workshops with her in the past and loved them. She keeps asking for more. I highly recommend Nancy's cooking classes and party workshops.
