Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions, peeled and chopped
  • 2 heaping tbsp vegan butter or margarine I used Vegan Becel
  • 1 300 g package of soft tofu drained and blended
  • 1 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce or just soy sauce + balsamic vinegar if you're in a pinch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Chop onions as evenly as you can to ensure even caramelization. Over medium heat, melt butter and cook onions, covered, on just under medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 30-45 minutes until the onions are very tender and have released a lot of water.
  • Take off the lid and lower to medium low heat and cook for another 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to encourage even caramelization. The water will start to evaporate and then the caramelization process will start. Cook until onions are a deep, caramel brown. Too light and they won't be as sweet and delicious, and too dark will be burnt. Once done, take off the heat and set aside.
  • In your blender, food processor, or in a pyrex cup with a stick blender (which was my method of choice), blend tofu, worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Combine the caramelized onions and tofu mixture and serve with lightly salted plain chips. Adjust salt to taste.
