Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 1 1/4 cups vegan sour cream or 1 tub (12 oz) Tofutti sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Mineral salt, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare the onions: Heat the olive oil or water/vegetable broth in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking.
  2. Caramelize the onions: Continue cooking the onions for about 25–30 minutes, adding small amounts of water or vegetable broth occasionally to help them soften and caramelize without burning. Stir frequently until the onions become golden brown and fragrant.
  3. Mix the dip base: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan sour cream with garlic powder, onion powder, and vegan Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to integrate all the flavors.
  4. Incorporate caramelized onions: Add the caramelized onions to the sour cream mixture and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with mineral salt as needed.
  5. Serve: Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy with chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
  6. Store leftovers: Keep any leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use olive oil instead of water or vegetable broth for sautéing the onions.
  • Vegan Worcestershire sauce can be found in specialty stores or made at home; ensure it is free of anchovies to maintain the vegan status.
  • This dip pairs well with a variety of chips, crackers, or fresh crunchy vegetables like celery and bell peppers.
  • Make sure to caramelize the onions slowly for maximum flavor development.
  • The recipe yields approximately 1 3/4 cups of dip, suitable for one serving but easily scalable.
