cheap family recipes
feed a family of 4 for less than £200 a month
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (drained weight 260g)
- 60 ml oil
- 100 g onion chopped very finely
- 1 clove garlic
- salt and pepper
- dessertspoon vinegar
- 10 g sugar
To Serve
- 16 slices homemade bread
Instructions
- Place onion on baking sheet.
- Mix vinegar and sugar together and drizzle over the onions.
- Turn onion over with hands until covered.
- Bake at the bottom of the oven (underneath something else you are cooking) until softened and browned turning over occasionally (at 200C this takes about 30 minutes)

- Place the chick peas, garlic, and seasonings in a food processor, then gradually add the oil whilst pulsing the food processor until you have achieved a loose runny consistency a bit like natural yoghurt or double cream. Stir the roasted onions and their juices through your finished houmous.
- Make once for Christmas week. Half the batch is used to make Tomato Houmous. If you're following the Celebration Week planner, I've added 16 slices of bread for 8 portions so the nutrition comes out correctly, but you would use 8 slices for this, and 8 slices and half the batch of Caramelised Onion Hummus for the tomato version
