Instructions
- Leanne says: “I used to tolerate beans so well, but in recent years they’ve started to aggravate my stomach.
- Perhaps I met my life’s quota of beans when I was vegan for as long as I was.
- In any case, you won’t be swooning over bowls of conventional hummus when you have this recipe in your back pocket.
- It makes a great pack-along snack for your lunch kit paired with celery sticks and extra olive oil, or you can make a batch and share with your friends the next time you’re invited to a potluck.”
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cored and separated into florets (about 15-1/2 ounces / 445 g florets)
- 1/4 cup (65 g) tahini
- 6 Tbsp (90 ml) extra virgin olive oil, preferably organic, divided
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 2 small cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 tsp (7.5 ml) finely ground gray sea salt [I used a bit less]
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ground cumin
- Pinch of paprika, for garnish
- Pinch of dried parsley, for garnish
- Place the cauliflower florets, tahini, 4 Tbsp (60 ml) of the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin in a food processor or blender.
- Pulse until somewhat smooth, or until it reaches the desired hummus-like consistency.
- Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the paprika and parsley.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
