Watching Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen always seems to make me and my husband hungry. This recipe was whipped up during one of those TiVo-inspired snack binges. I have Lemon Verbena growing in my herb garden, so I will occasionally throw a few leaves of that in as well, but it is not necessary. I use a Vitamix for this recipe, but it can be done just as easily in a blender or by hand.
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup baby carrots raw
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tbsp fresh basil
1 tsp fresh sage
Chop, grind or shred baby carrots into fine pieces. Chop basil and sage finely and combine with carrot.
Place cream cheese in Vitamix and spin at medium speed. Add lime juice until consistent.
Add carrots, basil and sage. Turn Vitamix to high for 3-5 seconds, until carrot and herb mix is evenly distributed throughout mixture.
Serve with dinner crackers or small pieces of bread.
