Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Spread Recipe

Soak cashews in a bowl of boiling hot water for 1 hour or until soft. Drain and rinse. Set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or pot over medium heat. Add onions, herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and browned around the edges, about 7 to 9 minutes.

Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and moisture has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Add vinegar; cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

Process mushroom mixture, cashews, lemon juice, and Âľ cup water in a blender or food processor until completely smooth (if you're having a hard time blending, add water by the tablespoon. The resulting mixture should be thick).

Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
