Ingredients

2.5 lbs cauliflower (medium head) cored, chopped and roasted
1 cup cashews raw
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon juice and zest
1/2 tsp cumin adjust to taste
1/4 tsp cayenne adjust to taste
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt adjust to taste
1/3 tsp black pepper ground
1/4 tsp paprika garnish
1.5 tbsp pine nuts toasted for garnish
2 tbsp Italian parsley chopped for garnish
¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
¾ cup filtered water adjust as needed

Instructions

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Core and chop the cauliflower. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place florets on top and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until tender.
Remove cauliflower from the oven and let it cool off for 5-10 minutes.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER HUMMUS

Place cashews in the food processor and blend until you have a coarse meal.
Add a pinch of salt and 1-2 tbsp of filtered water and keep blending until you have a butter (see video)
Add roasted cauliflower florets, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper, cayenne & cumin. Start pulsing and blending and let the machine go for a minute.
Turn it off. With a spatula, scrape the sides of the food processor to make sure everything is within blades’ reach, so it all gets evenly chopped and smoothly blended.
Start the machine again and through the hole at the top trickle in the filtered water. Then trickle in the extra-virgin olive oil. Adding the water and olive oil this way will distribute it evenly through the dip.
You shouldn't need to, but add more liquid if it’s a bit dry.
Turn off the food processor and serve the hummus in a bowl. Garnish with a dusting of paprika, toasted pine nuts, chopped parsley and drizzle some olive oil. It's soooo good!
