Here is how you make Balsamic Caramelized Onion Hummus:

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and stir to coat with oil. After about 5 minutes, season with a bit of salt. Spread onions out evenly across the pan and let cook, stirring about every 3-4 minutes, until softened, about 20-30 minutes total. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add 1 teaspoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and stir to coat. Once they are caramelized to your liking, remove from pan. Save a small amount of onions to top the hummus later, if desired. Add the rest to the large bowl of a food processor. Meanwhile, reserve about 3 tablespoons of liquid from the chickpea can and drain and rinse the rest of the chickpeas. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and let simmer until reduced to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 1-2 tablespoons worth. Remove from heat and set aside.Add to the food processor the chickpeas, liquid from the chickpea can, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Adjust any ingredient amounts to your liking, if necessary.Serve hummus topped with reserved caramelized onions and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.Serving Size: 6 servings as snacks, or 4 servings as lunchNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NATASHAROUX.
