Hummus Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add sliced onions and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Steam the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Blend the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or olive oil to achieve desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Stir in the caramelized onions and chopped cilantro into the hummus. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
