Experience the vibrant flavors of the Middle East with a keto-friendly twist in our delicious Keto Hummus recipe, featuring tender artichoke bottoms and velvety tahini.
In a medium-sized pot, add the artichoke bottoms and enough water to cover them. Add a bay leaf, half fresh lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Boil the water, then simmer and cook the artichoke hearts for 25 minutes or until they become tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the bottoms and remove the bay leaf. Let them cool for a few minutes.
In a food processor, combine the cooked artichoke bottoms, the remaining half of the lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, ground caraway, and salt.
Blend until you get a smooth and creamy paste, scraping down the sides as needed. Then, adjust the seasoning per taste.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or ground caraway, and enjoy.

Notes
Note: Remember to handle the artichokes carefully, as the thorns can be sharp.
