Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 4 cups) Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Cut the medium head of cauliflower into florets, removing and discarding the core.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower florets, cover with a lid, and steam for about 8 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
Transfer the cooked and cooled cauliflower florets to a food processor. Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Gradually add the water while blending to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the low-carb hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the top, if desired, and serve with low-carb vegetables such as cucumber slices, celery sticks, or bell pepper strips.
Step 7
Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
