ONION HUMMUS

3 cups cooked chickpeas, peeled
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
3 to 4 ice cubes
⅓ cup (79 g) tahini paste
½ teaspoon kosher salt
juice of 1 lemon
hot water, if needed
sumac
extra virgin olive oil
caramelized onions

Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor.
Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms.
While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so.
Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water.
Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency.
Spread in a serving bowl, sprinkle with sumac and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Add the caramelized onions to the hummus and serve.
