Easy Carrot Dip With a Bite image

I made Petroushka's Recipe #207860 yesterday and thought -- the food processor is already dirty, so I might as well make something else. After a bit of experimentation, this was the end result. I took it to office drinks today and it got two thumbs up from everyone. I used a tin of baby carrots, but you can make this recipe harder for yourself by cooking 250 grams (8 ounces) of sliced fresh carrots until they are tender, draining them and then following the rest of the recipe. I'm sure you could double or triple this for a crowd. Use yogurt only if you need to reduce the heat.
