Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower florets
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your cauliflower. Remove the leaves, and cut away the stem, then cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
Place a steamer basket in the pot and add the cauliflower florets. Cover the pot and steam the cauliflower for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and water.
Step 6
Process the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula a few times to ensure even blending.
Step 7
If the hummus is too thick, you can add additional tablespoons of water, one at a time, and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 8
Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil as per your preference.
Step 9
Transfer the Paleo Garlic Hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve with vegetable sticks like carrots, celery, or cucumber for a delicious Paleo-friendly snack.
