CARAMELIZED SWEET ONION HUMMUS

We’ve partnered with Jenna with The Urben Life (website | Instagram | Facebook) to create this unique hummus flavor with TX1015 Sweet Onions! Swirl caramelized onions into savory hummus for your new favorite hummus variation. This recipe comes together with chickpeas, TX1015 Sweet Onions, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice for an unbelievably creamy dip!

Servings: 8

Ingredients: 

  • 3 small sweet onions, chopped
  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, liquid reserved
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • Salt, to taste

Directions: 

  1. To caramelize sweet onions, start by heating about a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and let them start sweating. Stir in a pinch of salt and reduce heat to low. Cook the onions for 30-40 minutes, or until they are a deep golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Once caramelized, set aside.
  2. Toss the remaining hummus ingredients in a food processor and blend until completely smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides to get everything incorporated. For a creamy and fluffy hummus, add the aquafaba (liquid reserved from the cans of chickpeas), one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and top with the desired amount of caramelized onion. Serve with warm pita and fresh vegetables.
