Until recently, I regarded hummus as an unremarkable dip served at parties with dried out flat bread. It wasn't until I had an opportunity to visit Tel Aviv a few years ago that I had really good hummus. Indulgently creamy and velvety smooth, with a deep nutty flavor and subtle lemony zing, this was not the bland beige paste that comes in plastic tubs.
It was on that trip that I came to the realization that hummus makes for a fantastic meal, especially when topped with ingredients like egg, fava beans, mushrooms, or onion. For this version, I've caramelized the onions. The sweetness and golden onion flavor balances the creamy, nutty hummus, while adding an additional layer of flavor somewhere between the tahini and lemon.
Devoured with hot pillowy pita bread and a side of olives, there are few things more satisfying than hummus when you're hungry on a hot day. I've since found a number of decent Hummus places here in New York, but at seven bucks a bowl, it's always seemed a bit pricey for what is essentially a puree of chickpeas and tahini. Lately, I've been even more conscious about my food budget, and it occurred to me the other day that I haven't had hummus in months.
Walking through the shiny new Wholefoods in Tribeca, I thought about the challenge I put forth to the food blogging community earlier this week, and wondered how many hungry mouths it would help feed. At an average cost of twenty five cents a meal, the World Food Program feeds tens of millions of starving people every year.
As I reached for a $3 tub of Greek yogurt I realized it could pay for 12 meals and I stopped myself. In the produce section I paused for a moment in front of some brilliant orange lobster mushrooms that cost about 120 meals each, and then moved on. Seeing the grocery store in this perspective really changes the way you think about the things you put in your cart. I ended up leaving with enough food for several meals (including this hummus), and yet I managed to spend about half of what I normally do.
This hummus costs roughly $4 to make. I also made my own pita bread which adds about $1 to the cost for a total of $5 for this meal which will easily feed 4 people. Since I typically spend about $15 on ingredients per meal, I'm donating $10 to the World Food Program through Blog Away Hunger
TIPS: _This hummus is much smoother and creamier than the stuff sold in stores. I get this texture by adding back some of the liquid the beans cook in which makes it a little looser. The cooking liquid actually has a lot of flavor and I'm thinking about experimenting with it as a vegetarian stock. You can adjust the amount of liquid you add if you like it thinner or thicker.
Chunks work well in dishes like guacamole, but I prefer my hummus smooth, so I really let the food processor go to work on it. Make sure you use good quality olive oil and don't be shy with it, it keeps the hummus moist and gives it a nice creamy mouth feel. Serve it with my Muhammara for a delightful contrast in texture.
📖 Recipe
Units
Ingredients
- 225 grams dry chick peas (about 3 cups cooked)
- ½ cups tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 medium clove garlic (grated)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cups aqua faba (chickpea cooking liquid)
- 1 large onion
- olive oil
Instructions
- Wash the chickpeas and pick out any foreign objects. Add them to a pressure cooker and cover with a few inches of warm water. Affix the lid and let them soak for at least an hour. Lock the pressure cooker, set it to the high pressure setting (see your pressure cooker manual for specific instructions), and turn the heat on to high. Once you hear the cooker start to whistle turn down the heat to maintain a gentle whistle and cook for 60 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure cooker come down to room temperature on its own. Your chickpeas should now be very tender. Don't worry if they're coming apart because it will all get blended together anyway.
- Add the cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt to a food processor and blitz until smooth. Add the cooking liquid from the pot to the food processor a little bit at a time until the hummus is soft but not runny (about ½ C of liquid should do it). Continue to process for about 7 minutes in the food processor, or until the hummus is velvety smooth.
- To make the caramelized onions, quarter the onion lengthwise then slice it as thin as possible against the grain (like you're making onion rings). Add a generous splash of olive oil(1+ Tbs) to a frying pan along with the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium high heat, stirring regularly, until the onions just start turning brown. Turn down the heat to medium low, continuing to stir until the onions reach a golden brown color all the way through (this will take 15 to 20 minutes).
- To serve the hummus, spread half of it into the bottom of a shallow bowl in a swirly pattern. Drizzle a good helping of olive oil over the hummus allowing it to collect in between the swirls. Pile half the caramelized onions in the center of the bowl. Repeat with a second bowl or store the hummus and onions for another meal. Garnish with some minced parsley and paprika and serve.

I love economical meals! This looks like my lunch tomorrow if paired with some gazpacho. I love it when hummus comes with pools of olive oil on top.

That hummus looks delicious - I agree with Ginam I love olive oil pooled at the top.
It is truly surprising for me to see how expensive and how mediocre hummus is in NYC. I grew up with amazing hummus, made by my father (Palestinian) and sold at his store. When I came up here to NYC, every hummus I've tried is bland and just boring.
Cheffresco says
I definitely agree - homemade hummus is wayy better than the store bought kind. We love experimenting with different hummus flavors.
jessie says
this looks amazing. i never experienced good hummus either until i went to hummus place. but even then, i dont think it can compare to what you had in tel aviv!
Erin says
I think this might mean I have to go buy a food processor. 🙂 We also miss Israeli hummus, after living on it for two years. Adding a bit of the cooking liquid, as you've noted, is the secret. Beit ta'avon! 🙂
Kristin says
Great post. I'm so sorry about your job ... I've never thought of hummus as the basis for a meal, but now I will. I just happen to be cooking some chickpeas right now to make a thai flavored chickpea salad that I saw recently on 5 second rule. But I think I'm going to have to reserve half of them for hummus.
Terry Dagrosa says
Sounds delicious; the photograph alone pulls me in. I look forward to trying this recipe
Janet says
This looks gorgeously delicious. I am so glad to have stopped by; will be making this today! I have never made it before, and was looking for something inexpensive for company.
You have a fantastic post here today- and the Blog away Hunger is something I definitely will participate in!

I LOVE hummus (I'm eating some now, actually). I used to work with a lot of Middle Eastern women and one of them used to make hummus all the time for me. She taught be to add a bit of plain yogurt. Delish! Great recipe!

Great charity initiative - and caramelising the onions? *brilliant* idea (as always). You make my stomach gargle, I need to go start making dinner!

sweet jesus, this does look creamier. My questions is if you have thoughts on that new hummus that has a cult following at least in SF. Sabra hummus? Tastes very different than anything I could make. I'm on the fence. It does have the consistency of toothpaste.
cheap or cult chic? no idea...

Sabra is also EVERYWHERE here in NYC but tasty? Um... yeah... Can't really agree with that. It does taste like nothing you can make in your home, but not so much in the good way. It's a bit bland for me. (I do eat it every once in a while, but I don't quite get the popularity!)

Unlike you, I've never had hummus from a plastic tub... so I don't know. But I'm willing to take your word for it, at the risk of feeling nauseous with a first bite.
On the other hand, my home made hummus was never accompanied by caramelized onions, and again... I'll take your word for it, as the combination simply sounds heavenly.
I'm making caramelized onions with my next hummus, thanks for sharing.

Love the caramelized onion to top the hummus - a wonderful addition of depth to a spread that (in the wrong hands, or out of a tub) can be terribly bland. But what I appreciate even more is how you've taken your new endeavor to heart, and looked at charity beginning in your own home. Truly inspiring!
Daily Spud says
I pretty much always make my own hummus using dried chickpeas cooked in the pressure cooker and I always use some of the bean cooking liquid to thin out the mixture (and, yes, I sometimes save the remaining liquid to use as a base for soups, too). I also often use ground, toasted sesame seeds instead of tahini (think I started doing that one time when I didn't particularly like the tahini I had on hand). And I've been meaning to make a caramelised onion hummus for a while now - over here, Tesco's supermarket sell a caramelised onion hummus that is a big favourite - so this is a great reminder to go and make some for myself.

You forgot to mention the hippie lesbians, how could you forget them? Where I come from, when you come out as a gay woman, you are handed a recipe for hummus and are instructed to bring it to every potluck to which you are invited. Creativity is limited to the choice between pita triangles, crudites or blue corn tortilla chips (but if you choose the latter, you must use Garden of Eatin' brand, for some reason). If you break this rule then you are revoked of your pass.
Your hummus would officially qualify you as King of All Lesbians in this town.

Hummus is one of my absolute favorites! I usually throw in some cumin and curry powder for my "standard house hummus." Never occurred to me to use as a base to pile other stuff on top of--will correct that forthwith:)
I had baked hummus at a Turkish restaurant a few months ago. Unexpected and quite tasty.

I had an old co-worker who was from Egypt, and she would make the most memorable and smooth and deeply flavorful hummus, which has yet to be matched to this day!! There is nothing like "real" hummus, I agree the stuff in the tub is just plain sub-par.

ah marc, you're an inspiration. i reckon i shd start pondering more on the things i put in my basket when i go out grocery shopping. being less indulgent during hard times will be good for the wallet.
this houmous looks lovely and very classy. always a key ingredient in my fridge, i love slapping it in sandwiches or wraps which are easy for quick-to-go lunches. xx

Mmmmm, great post. I've been making hummus for years, but never with caramelized onions; will definitely be giving that a shot!
Does anybody have insight into whether it's worth the extra time and hassle (expense issues aside) to go with dried chickpeas over canned? I've tried both, but not enough to draw any conclusions yet.
Sam@BingeNYC says
Just found your site via Slashfood. Wow. This hummus is too gorgeous for words. Love your no recipe approach - isn't the best food always that which you instinctively put together?

Love the tip about adding back the cooking liquid to smoothen the hummus, good call.
@Matthew, I find that dried chickpeas are way better, and they cook quickly in a pressure cooker. I couldn't live without mine.
I've been making hummus for awhile, but it wasn't until this year that I discovered a secret ingredient to make the best hummus ever: preserved lemons. Seriously try it, it will knock your socks off. Here's my recipe.

I also come from the middle east where we eat humus all the time. I found here, in chicago, a little restaurant that make the Humus almost like in Israel, absolutely delicious. But we always eat humus with pita and pita has gluten. So, what to do???

Love your Site! And your pictures a mouth watering always. I love hummus. Love.Love! There are many variations even in the classic hummus depending on the region you have it. I personally won't have hummus without Cumin!Its a must! Really. Give it a go ?
Another variation which is seen regionally is a green chilly paste (more like a dip) which is served along side hummus for all the Kick Lovers!

Charlie says
Great blog Marc! Thanks!! I can't wait to try this. Any chance telling us how to make the homemade pita bread? 🙂
Marc Matsumoto says
I usually make mine with Jim Lahey's no-knead dough. Tear off a piece, roll it out, then "bake" it in a cast iron skillet that has been preheated on a stove until very hot. Once the dough goes in I stick the whole thing under a broiler until the pita is puffy and starts getting brown spots on top.
Dom says
I have an excellent tip for making super creamy hummus. Before blending the chick peas, cream together the tahini and lemon juice in the blender or food processor until it turns light and fluffy. You may need to add a bit of the water from the chickpeas to get it going. Then, add the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients, slowly adding more cooking liquid from the chickpeas until the desired consistency is reached.
layla says
Great idea to add the caramelized onions! I made some today but was lazy and used canned chickpeas with some of their liquid instead. Also in the middle east we add a few tbsp of plain yogurt which makes it more creamy and adds a little bit of tartness. Great recipe! Great website!

if I don't have a pressure cooker how would be recommend cooking the chickpeas

Hi Layla, if you don't have a pressure cooker, you'll want to soak the beans overnight in a water before cooking. Then just add them to a pot with a lot of water and simmer for 1.5-2 hours until they are very tender.
