• 3 cups raw cauliflower florets
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 1/2 tbsp Tahini paste
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 raw garlic cloves, crushed (in addition to above)
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• smoked paprika and extra olive oil for serving

1. Combine the cauliflower, water, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 3 whole garlic cloves to a microwave safe dish. Microwave for about 15 minutes – or until softened and darkened in color.
2. Put the cauliflower mixture into a magic bullet, blender, or food processor and blend. Add the tahini paste, lemon juice, 2 raw garlic cloves, 3 Tbsp olive oil, and 3/4 tsp kosher salt. Blend until mostly smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
3. To serve, place the hummus in a bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. Use thinly sliced tart apples, celery sticks, raw radish chips, or other vegges to dip with.
