Begin by caramelizing the onion: chopped the onion into thin slices and placed 3 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir until the onion is translucent.
At this point, if you’d like to speed the caramelization process, you can add 2 tbsp. of brown sugar. If not, just keep on stirring regularly until the onion gets amber brown.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, you can add more water, lemon juice, or olive oil. Adjust salt to taste.
When serving, garnish with some smoked paprika, sesame seeds, fresh parsley, and ground cumin. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
