Vegan Onion Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 Large Red Onion
• 1 Package Silken Tofu
• 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• ½ - 1 Tsp. Sea Salt*
• 3 – 5 Tbsp. Lemon Juice*
• Dash of Sesame Oil
• Hot Pepper Flakes (to taste)

Directions:

Slice the onion and slowly caramelize in a frying pan with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. I cheat a little by adding some water to the pan when the onion just starts cooking, that way the onion gets soft before it starts to brown.

Once the onion is caramelized, add it to a bowl (or food processor) with the silken tofu, lemon juice, remaining salt, sesame oil, and hot pepper flakes.

Blend until everything is combined, and retains a slightly chunky texture (I used my immersion blender).

Chill the dip for at least an hour, to let flavours meld. Eat with sliced vegetables, crackers, potato chips, as a tasty sandwich spread, or anywhere else non-vegan onion dip is used.

*These measurements are only guidelines. Start with less and keep adding more until you’ve reached a good balance between salty and sour.
