Creamy and irresistible: Onion pâté for perfect snacks

ingredients:

• 500 g of onion
• 2–3 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 30 g butter
• 100 g of cream cheese
• 50 g of walnuts
• 1 teaspoon of mustard
• half a teaspoon of thyme
• salt and black pepper
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice

<strong>Preparation: </strong>

First, cut the onion into thin rings. Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan, then add the onion and a little salt. Fry the onion over low heat for about 25 to 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is completely soft and has a nice golden brown color. Towards the end, add the finely chopped garlic and thyme, and fry everything together for about another minute. Then add the balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, stir and leave the mixture to cool slightly.

Place the cooled caramelized onions in a blender along with the walnuts, cream cheese, and mustard. Blend until smooth and creamy. Finally, add salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate the prepared pâté for one to two hours before serving. It is best served with toasted bread, crackers, or as a sandwich spread.

It can be stored in a sealed container for three to four days.
