Method
Main

Add cumin and coriander, stir until fragrant (1-2 minutes), add stock and bring to the simmer, then add roast carrot. Blend with a hand-held blender until smooth, season to taste with freshly ground pepper, sea salt flakes and lemon juice. Scatter with lemon rind and parsley and serve hot with a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt and flatbread pieces.
