Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets for about 8-10 minutes until they become tender. You can do this using a stovetop steamer or a microwave steamer.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a food processor.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper into the food processor with the cauliflower.
Process the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even processing.
To achieve the desired consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time and process until you reach your preferred texture.
Taste the houmous and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your taste.
Transfer the houmous to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with more olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika for garnish.
Serve immediately with low-carb veggies like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
