Instructions
caramelized onion hummus
- Heat a large pot over low heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onions, thyme and salt, stirring well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. This will take a full 30 to 40 minutes – or longer! You can do it ahead of time. But go low and slow so the onions don't burn. Let them cool (at least slightly) before adding them to the processor.
- Reserve a few chickpeas for topping. Place the chickpeas, tahini, the lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in your food processor. Puree until the chickpeas break down and the mixture starts to come together (it probably won’t be smooth at this point!). Make sure to scrape the sides with a spatula. Drizzle in the ice water. Blend it for a minute or two – just let it go! Once the water is in, the hummus should really start to get smooth – if you need a little more water, add it 1 tablespoon at a time. Drizzle in the olive oil. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Scoop the hummus into a bowl, top with the reserved chickpeas and drizzle with a touch of olive oil. Add the fresh herbs and serve!
