Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets, steamed
- 0.25 cups Pine nuts, toasted
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Keep them moving to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, toasted pine nuts, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Step 5
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Step 6
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra olive oil on top. Sprinkle with a touch of paprika for color.
Step 7
Serve with vegetable sticks, keto crackers, or simply enjoy it by the spoon!
