Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by bringing a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the florets are tender.
Drain the cooked cauliflower florets and allow them to cool slightly for handling comfort.
In a food processor, combine the cooled cauliflower florets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired hummus consistency. You may use more or less water depending on preference.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as you desire.
Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for added flavor.
Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Enjoy with fresh vegetables or as a spread in compliant dishes.
