Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow or white onion (peeled and sliced)
- 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed (15 oz)
- 3 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame seeds)
- 3 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- dash of pepper
- 2 tablespoons water (as needed for desired consistency (I did not need to use any water))
Instruction
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices to skillet and cook for about 25 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, add all other hummus ingredients (except water) to the bowl of a food processor and set aside until onion slices are ready.
- Once onion slices are caramelized, allow them to cool slightly. Then add them to the food processor bowl with the other hummus ingredients. (if desired, reserve a small amount of onions for garnishing hummus)
- Process ingredients until smooth. Add water as needed for desired consistency. (I didn't need any water for my hummus)
- Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with additional caramelized onion slices. Serve with pita chips and/or raw veggies or use as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
