Cauliflower Hummus

Kind of debated whether to even post this one. It's not bad (in fact, for not being hummus at all, it's a reasonable substitute), it's just...why? Why would you want to turn cauliflower into hummus, if what you really want is hummus? But, if you're going really "low carb" and you want hummus, then...it's an option (about 1/4 of the carbs of chickpeas).

Ingredients
3 C raw cauliflower florets
2 T water
5 T olive oil
1½ t salt
5 cloves garlic
1½ T tahini paste
3 T lemon juice
olive oil & smoked paprika to garnis for serving

Directions
Combine olive oil, water, 2 T of the olive oil, 1/2 t salt and 3 cloves of the garlic in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 10-12 minutes on high, until cauliflower is softened and somewhat darkened in color.

Put cauliflower mixture in mini blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add tahini paste, lemon juice, remaining garlic and olive oil; blend again. Add additional salt as needed, to taste.

Transfer to serving dish; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Serve with raw veggies, crackers, thinly sliced apples...
