Refreshing, Creamy, Delicious and with an amazing color, this humus is great on a LCHF cracker or slice of bread

As with all replicas or mimic foods, we can hardly say it tastes exactly like the original. I have been looking for a good chick pea free humus recipe for some time. I tried a cauliflower one and it was quite ok, but this one is spot on. It is the closest I could get to the original humus and surely satisfies my palate.

Ingredients

5 small zucchini sliced
2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp tahini paste
1 garlic clove – minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Pre heat oven to 200ºC

Put the sliced zucchini, 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic and ground cumin in an oven proof dish and mix well

Roast the zucchini for 20 minutes or until fully cooked

Blitz the zucchini with the tahini, salt, pepper and lemon juice with a hand mixer or a food processor until you get a smooth paste

Add the lemon juice and cumin seeds and mix

Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil on top and serve
