Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower 400g / 14 oz florets
  • ¼ cup / 60g tahini
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 8 tablespoon water or to desired thinness
  • Juice of 1 lemon + zest of ½
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • teaspoon flaked sea salt or to taste

To serve

  • Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 180 fan.
  • Place the cauliflower florets on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for about 25 minutes or until golden. Allow to fully cool.
  • Add cooled cauliflower, tahini, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic and salt to a high speed blender. Add water, starting with 4 tablespoon and adding more in tablespoon increments until you get the thinness you like. Blitz until smooth. This may take a couple of minutes, scraping the sides a couple of times. The longer you blend it, the creamier it will be. Mine took 8 tablespoon of water to get it nice and smooth and creamy. Quantity of water will depend on how juicy your lemon is.
  • Serve with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to taste and a pinch of paprika. Smoked paprika is nice too.

Notes

3.4g net carbs per portion. 1 portion is 3 tbsp. Recipe makes about 1 ⅓ cups of hummus in total. 
NOTE: a standard blender will not achieve a super creamy consistency. If you do not have a high speed blender, a food processor can be used but it will not be as smooth.
Storage: Tupperware in the fridge for 4-7 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 6 months.
