Of all the varieties of hummus, Caramelized Onion Hummus is my favourite. It works great with veggies, but also as a spread with grilled crostini, crackers, or rice cakes. This hummus is completely versatile, because it's both savoury and sweet at the same time!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon salted butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Start by adding the onions to a skillet with the butter. Over medium-low heat, slowly cook the onions until they turn a deep, golden brown colour. I prefer the onions to be very well done – I love the charred onion flavour!
Once the onions are cooked to your liking, allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes.
In the meantime, add the chick peas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to your food processor. Pulse together the ingredients for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Next, add the caramelized onions and gently pulse once or twice just to break up the onions and to mix them through the hummus.

Notes

One serving is equal to 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons.
