Caramelised Onion Houmous

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I've bought caramelised onion houmous from the supermarket many times and decided it was time I made my own!   I've used half of the ingredients from the best basic houmous recipe already here on Felly Bull, and caramelised some sliced onions to be mixed into the basic recipe, with a few reserved to garnish.

I love houmous as part of a meze, with toasted pitta bread, and with carrot and cucumber sticks for a healthy snack.

The addition of caramelised onions makes an already delicious basic houmous into one that's deliciously oniony (is there such a word?!), without being overpowered by them.

Enjoy this delicious caramelised onion houmous as a starter, side or snack.

Instructions

1. Heat the tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan.
2. Cook the onion for about 3 minutes on a medium to high heat, stirring constantly. Then reduce the heat to low and cook the onions until golden and caramelised, stirring frequently. This will take about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the hot frying pan to a plate and set aside to cool slightly (approx. 8 to 10 minutes).
3. Place all of the ingredients, including most of the caramelised onions (reserve a little of the onion to garnish the houmous, if you like) into a food processor and mix on high for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with oil and garnish with the reserved onion. Serve cold or at room temperature.
