Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower florets
- 60 grams Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 70 grams Pitted green olives
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets. In a medium saucepan, add water and bring it to a boil. Place the florets in a steaming basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam for about 8-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 2
Once steamed, remove the cauliflower from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the florets to a food processor.
Step 3
Add the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, green olives, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the processor.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture a few times to start breaking down the ingredients, then blend continuously, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary, until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 5
With the food processor running, slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired creamy consistency.
Step 6
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.
Step 7
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. For presentation, drizzle a little extra olive oil on top and garnish with a few chopped olives and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Step 8
Serve the keto olive hummus with fresh vegetable sticks or your favorite low-carb crackers.
