Roasted Onion Cream
Onion Cream?? Why yes. Dairy free, gluten free, perfect for soup drizzling or as an add on to salad dressings...watch out for loads of inspiration!
Roasted what cream? Yes, onion cream: unctuous, delicate, flavoursome, creamy. Yes, creamy. Add this cream to anything savoury in place or regular cream, though bear in mind, it will add a tangy slightly acidic flavour to whatever you are using it for. It’s completely addictive and quite edible on its own, without anything else whatsoever. I have even strayed from the brown, white onions and done a very pretty pink (red) onion cream for a salad dressing. Don't mistake it for berry coulis. Oops! I have warned you.
