Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower (florets)
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 60 grams Tahini
- 50 milliliters Olive oil
- 30 milliliters Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets. Place the florets in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, cover, and steam for 8-10 minutes until tender.
While the cauliflower is steaming, roast the cherry tomatoes. Preheat a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook the tomatoes for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop a slight char.
Once the cauliflower is tender, transfer it to a food processor along with the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more lemon juice, salt, or paprika to suit your preference.
Transfer the Keto Tomato Hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs like parsley.
Serve immediately with low-carb vegetable dippers like cucumber slices, celery sticks, or bell pepper strips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
