Creamy Purple Onion And Basil Dip Recipes

DELICIOUS BASIL DIP

Steps:

• In your blender or food processor, chop up your garlic, then add the basil and chop that all up. Then add the mayonnaise.
• Next add the Dijon Mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Blend everything until it is completely smooth and combined. Put it in a dish, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or so. This allows the flavors to marry and results in a delicious, fragrant, wonderful Basil Dip.

BAKED ONION DIP I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onions and cheese. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is slightly brown. Serve hot with buttery, round crackers.

CREAMY ONION GARLIC DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Keep the garlic head all in once piece and slice about ¼ inch straight off the top of the whole garlic head exposing the inside of the cloves inside.
• Take a square of tin foil and put the garlic head cut side down in the middle of the foil and wrap it tightly.
• Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes. After this time check it. It should be really soft if you give it a squeeze. Give it another 5 minutes or so if it's not. Once completely soft remove from the oven and allow to cool in the foil.
• While the garlic is roasting, heat a sauté pan over a medium low heat with the olive oil (or a few tablespoons of water). Once hot add the sliced onion. Cook slowly for around 30 minutes, stirring frequently. If you use water you will need to add a few drops more here and there to stop the onions sticking.
• Once the onion is really soft and starting to go golden, add the sugar (optional but recommended for a more caramelized result) and stir well then continue to cook for another 5 minutes or so until a deep golden brown then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, white miso, vinegar and salt to a blender.
• Take the roasted garlic head and gently squeeze the garlic out of the papery skins and into the blender along with half of the onion and a few drops of the milk.
• Blend until completely smooth. Check the consistency and add a little more milk if you prefer a slightly thinner dip. I used a full ¼ cup but you might prefer less.
• Add the thyme and the rest of the onion and stir to distribute. If you prefer it completely smooth you can blend all the onion up into it. I like having some of the golden strands through mine for texture.
• Spoon into a serving dish.
• Optional : Garnish with more caramelized onion or some fresh thyme leaves.
