Mel's Meals - Roasted Garlic & Onion Hummus

Mel today's recipe is a little different. It doesn't exactly qualify as a meal, but more as an appetizer dip or sandwich spread! Humus is extremely easy to make, and quite healthy for you! It's great with veggies and pita, but also is great with chicken or as a mayo replacement in sandwiches.

Roasted Garlic & Onion Hummus

Ingredients

1 Medium to large sized Onion, halved (leave skin on)

5 Cloves of Garlic (leave skin on)

1 Can of Chickpeas

Juice of 1 fresh Lemon

1/3 Cup Chicken Stock

1 Tbsp of Tahini

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Preheat Oven at 350. Place the onion, and garlic cloves in a baking dish.

Drizzle with Olive oil and pour in the 1/3 of chicken stock

Bake Onion and Garlic for 50 Minutes

While the garlic and onion is cooking, drain the canned chickpeas and rinse in a strainer. Put the chickpeas in the food processor and leave aside.

After the onion and garlic is fully cooked, let cool. Once cooled, unskin and place them in the food processor.

 Combine the chickpeas, roasted garlic and onion, Tahini and lemon juice in the food processor.

Add salt & pepper and start on medium speed. Slowly add the olive oil (about 1/4-1/2 of a cup, until it's reached the right texture)

Note that you can play around with the salt and pepper to achieve your desired taste!

and done!

*Note that you can use a blender or hand blender if you do not own a food processor.
