Categories: Nuts, Vegetables, Beans, Citrus
     Yield: 4 Servings

     1 c  Raw cashews (4 oz)
     3 c  Yellow onions; chopped
   1/4 c  Olive oil
          Salt & coarse black pepper
    15 oz Can cannellini beans;
          - drained
     4 ts Lemon juice; more as needed
     4 ts Apple cider vinegar
   1/2 ts Onion powder
   1/2 ts Sweet paprika
          Chives; chopped, garnish
          - (optional)
          Potato chips or crudites; to
          - serve

 Add the cashews to a bowl and cover with water. Let the cashews
 soak at room temperature for 2 hours.

 About 45 minutes before the cashews are finished soaking, combine
 the chopped onions, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a medium
 skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onions, stirring
 occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and caramelized,
 about 30 minutes. To prevent the onions from burning and sticking
 to the bottom of the skillet, you can add a splash of water, 1 tb
 at a time, as needed. Let caramelized onions cool slightly.

 Drain the cashews and add them to the bowl of a food processor or
 high-speed blender with the beans and 1/2 cup water. Blend the
 mixture until smooth, about 5 minutes, stopping the mixer and
 scraping down the bowl occasionally.

 Add the lemon juice, vinegar, onion powder, paprika, and 1/2 ts
 salt, and blend again until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
 Reserve about 1 tb onions for garnish, then add the rest to the
 bowl. Fold the onions into the mixture, cover and refrigerate for
 at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (Overnight is ideal for the
 best flavor.)

 Just before serving, give the dip a good stir and adjust the
 seasoning with lemon juice and salt as desired. Top with the
 reserved onions and chives, if desired, and a few grinds of black
 pepper. Serve with potato chips or crudites. Store leftovers
 covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
