Instructions
- Put the 2 tablespoons olive oil and 285 grams onions in a frying pan and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook covered until the onions are tender (about 10 minutes).
- Remove the lid and turn up the heat to medium-high to quickly burn off the excess water.
- When you hear the onions start to sizzle, sauté them, stirring continuously, until the onions are fully caramelized (another 10 minutes or so).
- While the onions cook, add the 140 grams raw cashew nuts to a small pan and cover with about an inch of water. Bring the cashews to a boil and then set a timer for 2 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn off the heat and let the cashews cool to room temperature in the liquid.
- Use a slotted spoon to add the cashew nuts to a blender. Measure out ⅓ cup of the cooking liquid and add it to the blender. Add the 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon usukuchi soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and half of the caramelized onion mixture.
- Blend until very smooth. If your blender is having trouble spinning, you can add a little extra cooking liquid from the cashews to help it out.
- Transfer the dip from the blender to a bowl and stir in the remaining caramelized onions. Adjust the seasonings (salt and vinegar) to taste.
- Garnish with flat-leaf parsley and paprika and serve your vegan French onion dip with bread, chips, or vegetable sticks .
