Rinse the red lentils.
Peel and cut the carrot into small pieces.
Place the lentils and carrots in a pot, cover with water so that it covers the ingredients by about 2-3 cm. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook covered until the lentils and carrots are done, about 20-25 minutes. Drain any excess water if it remains.
Peel the garlic.
Transfer the cooked lentils and carrots to a food processor or blender bowl.
Add tahini, cumin, turmeric, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.
Process until smooth. Add a little water if necessary to reach the desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and add more salt or lemon juice if needed.
