Method

To make the hummous, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until very smooth. If you don't have a food processor you can mash together in a bowl, but you will need to work a lot harder to get a smooth finish.

Top, tail and peel the carrot, then finely grate. For younger children use the finest grater and you might want to shred the rocket.

Spread the bread with hummous, then top with carrot and rocket. Cut into triangles (or circles, or stars, or whatever you fancy that day!) and serve.

Serve with some extra salad on the side or some halved up cherry tomatoes. Younger babies might not be very keen on the rocket at first - but it's worth giving it a try, or you can try shredding it up and mashing it into the hummous. You can make your own hummous with the recipe here, or buy an organic ready-made one - just check the ingredients list for any unnecessary 'junk' ingredients. If you make your own, the pot of hummous will last in the fridge for up to 2 days, or can be frozen for up to a month.
