Hummus

Warren has a new favorite dip .... hummus. Given the ingredients I have a hard time paying $3.50 for 10 ounces and that's when it was on sale. So I am off to the kitchen to find a recipes that is just as good. This one had a stronger lemon and tahini taste than I prefer but Warren likes it.

Onion & Garlic Hummus

Saute the onions in 1/4 cup oil until softened. Continue cooking over low heat for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
