Ingredients

Tangy Creamy Cheese:

  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cups cooked navy beans or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Caramelized Onions:

  • 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil

  • 2 large yellow onions, finely diced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Thinly sliced green onions

Directions

  1. Place coconut oil, olive oil, beans, onion powder, lemon juice, cider vinegar, and salt in a food processor. Blend until thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and chill, covered, until cold and set to a spreadable consistency, at least 1 hour.

  2. Melt oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions with a pinch of salt and a few dashes pepper, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, sweet, and amber brown, about 35 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely, about 1 hour.

  3. Fold caramelized onions into tangy creamy cheese with a rubber spatula. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with green onions.
