Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming and cutting the cauliflower into small florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with water, place it over high heat, and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
Once soft, drain the cauliflower and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the cooked cauliflower, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, 1 tablespoon of water, and paprika.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, gradually add the remaining tablespoon of water until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and sprinkle with additional paprika for garnish.
Step 8
Optionally, scatter fresh parsley over the top for added color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately with low-carb veggies such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
