Caramelized Onion Hummus - (Free Recipe below)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow or white onion, peeled and sliced
• 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 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)

Instructions

• 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.
