The first thing we want to do is to roast our cauliflower. A nice head of cauliflower which we will cut, olive oil, salt, paprika, cumin, oregano and black pepper for seasoning.
For our hummus, other than the cauliflower, we will need two cans of chickpeas, olive oil, water, garlic, 2 lemons and salt.
As we used cauliflower for our main protein, you can mix this up and change it and use other great base protein such as ground beef, halloumi and chicken. Still, you will get a nice and smooth hummus that can be eaten hot or cold. And goes well as a nice snack for a drink party, a nice dinner setting or for a snack with a wine bottle.
There are many variants in making hummus, but there is one common thing: the nice and soothing mix of flavors is just marvelous. Warm hummus is always the best, not just eating it with pita, but getting crazy and adding more things to eat it with like our roasted cauliflower and other vegetables makes the experience even better.
This is a nice way to get your family and friends started with hummus as it has a nice flavor, they will love it after this and will become fans of hummus themselves. Get creative, add and replace some ingredients in the recipe and make it your own.
- Start the oven and place the cauliflower in a baking pan with a sheet on top. Add oil and all our spices (paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper). Mix everything together. And leave it in the oven for 30 minutes or fewer.
