Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Thinly slice the yellow onions and add them to the skillet with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir to evenly coat the onions in oil.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelised. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, ground cumin, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of caramelised onions. Blend until the mixture is slightly smooth.
Slowly add 2 tablespoons of water and continue blending until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You can add an additional tablespoon of water if needed.
Fold the remaining caramelised onions into the hummus, reserving a small portion for garnish if desired.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Garnish with the reserved caramelised onions and sprinkle with paprika, if using.
Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
