A recipe by Julia Justus

Grilled soy steaks ready? Salads are served? Roasted some bread? That’s all fine but only half as delicious if you’re missing out on good dips! Everyone thinking of ketchup and mustard as „just mandatory sides“, has no excuse anymore to spice things up a little. Those three dips will turn your guest’s eyes heart-shaped and we can spoil that Isa spooned (!) that onion dip when we prepared it for the first time.

Vegan onion dip

600 g (21 oz)

20 minutes

Ingredients

4 large, yellow onions
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp plant-based oil
1 tbsp vegan butter
2 tbsp agave syrup
400 g (14.1 oz) silken tofu
100 ml (0.4 cup) plant-based cream for cooking

Peel onions and garlic. Cut onions in thin rings and slightly press garlic with the back of a knife but keep it like this as a “whole“ clove. Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp vegan butter in a large pan and sauté onions and garlic until they are glazed.
As soon as they turn glazed, add a shot of agave nectar and let it caramelize for some minutes. They should NOT get dark but stay light.
Take a mixer and throw in soft tofu, cashews, vegan sour cream or soy cream, nutritional yeast, jalapenos and cider vinegar. Mix it until it’s a smooth unity.
Now add about 3/4 of your onion-garlic-mix (put the rest beside for later). Start mixing again until everything is a delicious mash.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne and top with the remaining fried onions.
