Cauliflower hummus

(from Moachter’s recipe box)

Categories: Sauces

Ingredients

  • One small head of cauliflower, core taken out and cut into quarters
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 c. plus 2-3 tbsp. tahini
  • 2 tsp. sweet paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a saute pan with a lid, put in the cauliflower and garlic. Add enough water to come up 1/2 in. on the side of pan. I prefer to cook the cauliflower this way because it also helps soften the taste of the garlic. Cover and cook over medium until the cauliflower is soft.

  2. Drain the cauliflower and garlic and then add it to a food processor. Pulse to break the cauliflower down so it looks like rice. Add the tahini (starting with 1/4c. and then adding more to your preferred tastes) and oil, and pulse until the texture is smooth and mixed well. Add paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
