Roasted Lemon-Shallot Hummus. 🍋 🧅 Ohhhh Meyer lemons, how I love you! Organic Meyer lemons have a thin, flavorful, malleable skin that is great to cook with! So we’ll take the classic lemon-shallot flavor combo and take it up a notch! Ingredients: 16 Oz Chickpeas 3 Meyer Lemons 1 Large Shallot 1/4 Cup Tahini 5-6 Cloves Garlic (or one head) 1/4 Cup plus 2 Tbs Olive Oil 1 Tsp Sumac (optional)* Salt and Pepper, to taste Chopped Parsley and Pine Nuts (optional topping) *Sumac is a beautiful, flavorful Middle Easten spice made from ground berries that adds complexity and depth! I highly recommend trying some! Mine is from @nyshuk 🍋 Preheat your oven to 375° and prep a lidded baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil. Halve and deseed your lemons, and thinly slice the shallot. Toss in olive oil, add salt and pepper, then a small splash of water and replace lid. If you are using garlic cloves you can toss them in with the lemons, but if roasted in their paper, I recommend roasting in a separate dish with the top sliced off to expose cloves then once again coating in olive oil and adding salt and pepper. Roast for about an hour, stirring every 15 minutes until shallots have broken down and the lemons are soft. 🍋 Scrape the entire baking dish into a food processor and add chickpeas (I prefer to de-skin them for a better texture), tahini, and sumac. Start to process, then as the mixture starts to move more slowly drizzle up to a 1/4 cup until the mixture is smooth. 🍋 Spread into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and top with fresh parsley and pine nuts if you have them on hand (pine nut and lemon is a *great* flavor combo!’ Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days!
