Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or clarified butter
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 1 cup Cashew cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions. It's important to have uniformly thin slices to ensure even caramelization.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the sliced onions.
Stir the onions to coat them with ghee, then reduce the heat to low. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes, or until they're caramelized and golden. Take care not to burn them.
Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream and cashew cream until smooth and well-blended.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
Once the onions are slightly cooled, fold them into the cream mixture until fully incorporated.
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, give the dip a good stir and sprinkle with fresh chives if desired.
Serve chilled with a variety of Paleo-friendly dippers like fresh veggies or grain-free chips.
