Ingredients

2 large onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch kosher salt
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini (more to taste)
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch kosher salt

Directions

1

Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and stir to coat in oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium high heat until onions are softened and just starting to brown, stirring frequently. Add a generous pinch of kosher salt. Turn heat down to medium low and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2

Let onions cool and then give them a rough chop so they are easier to puree, leaving a handful of onions for garnish.
3

Add all the remaining ingredients, including onions, into a food processer and puree until smooth. Work in batches if necessary. Add 1-2 more tablespoons of olive oil if desired to reach your desired consistency. Top with leftover onions and a drizzle of olive oil.
