Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
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.
In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, toasted pine nuts, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
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.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle a little extra olive oil on top. Sprinkle with a touch of paprika for color.
Serve with vegetable sticks, keto crackers, or simply enjoy it by the spoon!
