Hummus is one of those foods that I can not get enough of. I have made many hummus recipes, both sweet and savory because I love hummus so much.

I happen to also love caramelized onions. Who wouldn't? They are sweet and rich, and elevate anything you add them to.

So I knew they would be the perfect star for a hummus recipe.

How To Make Caramelized Onions

Cook onions in olive oil over medium heat. Stir them every few minutes. With caramelized onions, it's all about slow and steady.

The more onions, the longer they'll take to cook. If the onions start to stick, add a little water, like a quarter of a cup or so.

Add brown sugar or balsamic vinegar near the end of cooking time to add flavor.

How to Make This Recipe

Mix garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, caramelized onions, olive oil, salt, and water in a food processor until creamy.

Recipe

Besides using this as a dip, this hummus is a great addition to a sandwich.
