Homemade Hummus

 Toss-Together Tuesday:::::::: spent time today tossing some things around on my desk while enjoying (from a far) the 13 1/2 inches of snow setting in my front yard. Glad I could spend the day inside, hanging out stamping with the youngest princess and my new Keto friendly menu. Here are some highlights from today.... 💕

Enjoy.

 Cauliflower & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Ingredients

16 ounce can chickpeas, drained (save liquid) 

4 tablespoons chickpea liquid

1/2 cup cooked cauliflower cooled

1/4 cup roasted red pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, or more to taste

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon paprika 

1 teaspoon of “Everything Bagel” Seasoning

1/2-1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2-6 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

To a food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, chickpea liquid, cauliflower, red pepper, olive oil, garlic, nutmeg, paprika, salt, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of cold water.

Puree for about 4-5 minutes until smooth and creamy. If it's not quite creamy or too thick, add a few more tablespoons of cold water. This will help fluff it up and make it creamy and smooth.

Taste and season with additional salt, garlic, tahini or lemon juice if needed.

Add to a bowl and garnish with toppings of choice. Serve with pita bread and veggie sticks or spread on toast, sandwiches, mix into pasta or use anywhere else you like.
