PALEO FRENCH ONION DIP

Many people are already aware of my family's obsession with french onion dip.

It's the one thing that I have truly missed since going dairy free.

When watching Sunday Football, hockey games, NLL Lacrosse games or even just watching a movie my husband and kids love their chips and dip.

I get to sit there and drool. This recipe in my opinion puts Helluvadip to shame!

It's best to make ahead of time as the flavours are even more elaborate on day two.

INGREDIENTS :

2 Tbsp bacon grease

2 Thinly Diced Shallots

1 garlic clove minced

1 / 2 tsp celery salt

Dash of Worcestershire sauce

1.5 cups Earths Island Vegenaise or Homemade Paleo Mayo

3 slices finely chopped prosciutto

1tsp sea salt

2tsp nutritional yeast flakes

INSTRUCTIONS :

In a skillet, add 1tsp bacon grease and the finely chopped prosciutto and fry until well cooked and crumbly then set aside.

Add the remaining bacon grease to the pan along with the finely diced shallots.

This must be a real shallot to get the perfect flavour.

Carmelize the shallot for a true 20 mins, then add the minced garlic, celery salt and nutritional yeast flakes, worcestershire sauce and cook for 5 more minutes.

Let the onion mixture cool completely.

Add both the onion mixture and the crumbled prosciutto to the vegenaise or paleo mayo, stir well and refridgerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

I know that some people feel that worcestershire sauce is not paleo. You could leave it out. 

I use Earths Island Vegenaise once in a while if I haven't had the time to make paleo mayo.  It tastes great but contains soy which doesnt sit well with my gut if I have it more than once in a blue moon. 

I served mine with sweet potato chips cooked in Olive Oil using my Actifry deep fryer! Delicious!
