Caramelized Onions

The most time consuming part of this is grilling the onions, so let's start that before anything else. Add the vegan butter and oil to a pan over medium / medium high heat. Once melted and bubbling, add your onions and stir to coat. Stir it frequently, and after 10 minutes, add in a pinch of salt and sugar, which will help with the flavor and browning.

Keep an eye on the onions and make sure they don't brown too fast, or even worse, burn! Lower the heat as needed, stir frequently, and deglaze with some water if they stick to the pan. They should be perfect in about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Optionally, you can add 1 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar and 1/4 - 1/2 cup of vegan beef broth. Then just cook them down and reduce the broth. This will add some extra beefy flavor! Once they are done, remove from the heat and reserve. You should end up with about 3/4 cup of caramelized onions, if not more.

SOUR CREAM

Soak the cashews in boiling water for 10 - 15 minutes. Then add them and everything else to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If it thickens too much in the fridge you can add a couple tablespoons of plant milk until it's at your desired consistency.

Onion Dip

Start with about 3/4 cup of caramelized onions and add everything else to a bowl and mix and combine thoroughly. Taste and adjust for seasoning, add more of the onions or any other seasoning. You can also add more sour cream, mayo or cream cheese if you like. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal. Garnish with chopped chives, and serve with you favorite potato chips and enjoy!
