I first read about [Onion Cream] early in 2016, and I was so excited that I tried the recipe immediately. Wow! The stuff was like onion fluff! Super delicious, and it’s kind of hard to believe that contains so few ingredients.
It was the first thing that came to mind when developing the recipe for a creamy, nut-free spinach and artichoke dip. It’s been through a few incarnations, but I’m really satisfied with this latest version, which uses no oil, and also waste free by roasting the garlic directly in their skins.
Use this Roasted Garlic & Onion cream in vegan soups, dips, or anywhere you need an ingredient with a savoury, yogurt like consistency; it also stands on it’s own as a delicious onion dip for chips! If nut allergies are not a concern, you can also substitute cashews for sesame seeds.
