Macadamia Nut Hummus (Paleo and Oil-free!) Recipe

I've bought nut hummus from a healthfood store and it was delicious. I never thought I could make it at home anywhere near as good, until I tried this recipe. It's even better...

It's keto, paleo...

It’s spreadable, scoopable, sharable…

All the “ables”.

And it only has 5 ingredients!

Ingredients

• 1 cup macadamia nuts, soaked in water for 24 hours, drained and rinsed

• 2-3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• pinch cayenne pepper
• sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Notes

Begin with 2 cloves of garlic and 2 tablespoons of water and work your way up, if needed.

Makes approximately 1¼ cup of hummus, 2 tablespoons per serving

Strange, but when you soak macadamia nuts they almost get “woody” in a way. Very similar to chickpeas.

Make sure that you soak the nuts. If you don’t, you’ll end up with a nut butter consistency that just isn’t good at all.

Blah.
