GARLIC SCAPE AND CARAMELIZED ONION HUMMUS

 

1 cup garlic scapes, cut into 2-inch lengths

1 cup extra virgin olive oil, to 2 cups

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 (28-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil

1-2 teaspoons salt

2-3 cups “tender†greens, such as spinach, arugula, spicy greens mix

1 cup caramelized onions, chopped

 

 

 

 

Process the scapes with 1/2 - 1 cup olive oil in food processor for 2-3 minutes

until finely chopped.

 

Add the lemon juice, chickpeas, cayenne, sesame oil and salt to taste. Process

until chickpeas are finely ground. You may want to taste at this point to see if

more cayenne is needed, but the sauce will “heat up†as it sits.

 

Add the greens and process briefly so they are coarsely chopped within the

hummus. Finally stir in the caramelized onion.

 

Use as a dip with a drizzle of extra virgin oil or a topping of lightly toasted,

coarsely ground cumin. It’s also a great dressing for pasta or sauce for baked

fish.
