Onion Dip

Makes 3/4 cup

Here's a new take on an old favorite for this year's picnics. Silky soft tofu is the perfect back-drop for pungent onion and garlic in this not-out-of-the-box onion dip.

Ingredients

1 cup soft tofu
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

Line a colander with several thicknesses of paper towel. Place tofu in colander and allow to drain 5 to 10 minutes to remove excess water.

Meanwhile, in medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 3 minutes or until garlic just begins to brown. Remove from heat.
Place sautéed onions and garlic in mini-food processor and process until almost smooth. Add drained tofu and process until smooth. Add vinegar, parsley, salt, and pepper and process 2 to 3 seconds until just blended.
