Paleo Hummus

So excited to share this recipe.  It originates from Sarah Fargoso's book Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook.  I wish I could take credit for it because it is so awesome!!!

I have altered the recipe a bit to make it to where I can eat it (original recipe calls for almond butter). Use almond butter if you wish but I know it is super amazing with pecan butter!!!


Hummus

4 cups- cauliflower
2 T- pecan butter
1/4 cup - EVOO
1-2 garlic cloves
1 t- ground cumin
1/2 t- paprika
1/8 t- cayenne pepper
1/2 t- sea salt

4 cups is about the size of one medium cauliflower head.

Steam your cauliflower and garlic until cauliflower is tender ( 10 minutes for so). 

While your cauliflower is steaming toast your pecans (enough to fill a small pan) until fragrant 4-6 minutes.  Place your pecans in a food processor and blend until it starts to liquify.  

Place your cauliflower and garlic in a food processor or a nifty vitamix!  (My vitamix gets to make its debut today in this recipe!) 

Combine all ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth.  

Topping 

1 roasted bell pepper 

1/2 t- red pepper flakes 

1 t- EVOO

Blend in a food processor  and place on top of your hummus! 

Happy Wednesday :)
