Onion "Cream"

Make this your go-to healthy and dairy-free alternative to cream in savory dishes!

 

Healthy Alternative

Onion cream is a wonderfully healthy and flavorful alternative to cream in your savory recipes.

While onion cream adds a creamy texture to recipes, the flavor will be altered. Therefore, it is best used as a replacement for cream when finishing or complementing a dish, not as a sole replacement in cream-based dishes.

Try it in our Chilled Pea and Edamame Soup!

 

Recipe

Onion “Cream”

Yields 1 1/2 Cups

Ingredients

  • 3 yellow onions

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • Olive oil

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Arrange whole onions in a loaf pan or other baking that that fits the onions snuggly. Drizzle generously with olive oil and rub to coat all sides.

Transfer to oven and bake for 45 - 60 minutes or until outside is brown and inside is soft. Let cool completely.

Once cool, remove the outer peel and stem. Transfer to a bender. Add salt and lemon juice. Process until smooth, about 60 seconds. Adjust seasoning as desired and set aside.
