Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1.5 tsp salt, divided
- 1 can (15.5 oz) cannellini beans
- 4 oz. vegan cream cheese
- Zest of half a lemon, about 1 tsp.
- Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 tbsp.
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2–4 tbsp ice water, as needed
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, rosemary, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt and combine. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook, occasionally stirring, until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 30-35 minutes. If the onions begin to burn or stick, add a splash of water as necessary. Set aside to cool.
- Add the cannellini beans, vegan cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and the remaining salt to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides and adding ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, as needed.
- Add the caramelized onions and pulse a few times. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving!
