Healthy Appetizers

Carrot Walnut Lentil Hummas

 This is a Moroccan dish that's very healthy and tasty. Instead of using regular walnuts, I used my toasted walnuts with the Ras El Hanout spice. That was even tastier!

Ajvar is made from red peppers and eggplant. I use whatever peppers I have, in this case, red, yellow and orange peppers. I always have colorful mixed peppers at home because they add such a colorful burst to any dish.

Toasted Walnuts

I make these toasted nuts myself. In this case, I toasted walnuts with a little olive oil and ras el hanout spice and they came out wonderfully! I don't usually add sugar or honey, but you can if the nuts are a little bitter. This is the nut mixture I used in the carrot, walnut, lentil hummus and it provided a wonderful flavor. The lentils were cooked as part of a curry so they had flavor too.
