Carrot Spread warm or cold

This was one of the spreads we had at our Girl's Brunch on Saturday.

It took me a while to get the recipe, but it was a Thermomix one. But it is no problem to cook it in a pot and use a stick blender later.

This is the version without the fancy maschine and I added a bit more spice.

Recipe:

250 g carrots

1 medium yellow onion

100 g butter

140 g tomato paste

1 tsp lemon juice

Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, cumin.

Chop the onion and sauté it in a small pot for 3 min. Add the chopped carrots, the butter, tomato paste and seasoning to it. Cook for 6 min until soft. Check the seasoning and add some lemon juice for freshness.

Blend it, but not too fine. Serve it warm or cold. It even works fine with some pasta.
