You can use this recipe to increase the flavor of any dish or just spread it on a piece of toast. You can add it to soups or sauces, toss it with pasta, put it on top of mashed potatoes, or just put a scoop in your beans as they cook.
Add the cubed onion and garlic cloves into a casserole dish. Add vegetable stock until garlic and onion are just barely floating. The liquid should cover them completely.
Add the herbs and freshly–ground black pepper.
Place the dish in the oven, and cook for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Be sure to check to ensure you do not burn the edges of the onion and garlic. Be careful, since burnt garlic can make this dish bitter. Stir occasionally if needed.
Remove the casserole dish from the oven as soon as all liquid has nearly evaporated and the onion and garlic are just caramelized.
Remove the herb sprigs.
Add the caramelized onions and garlic to a high speed blender (add some extra vegetable stock or non–dairy milk if needed) and blend smooth.
