Creamy Cashew and Onion Dip

In a large bowl cover 10 oz. raw unsalted cashews in boiling water. Let stand 15 minutes.

In a large skillet heat 3 Tbsp. neutral oil, such as avocado or grapeseed, over medium-low. Add 1 cup thinly sliced shallots; 3 cloves garlic, sliced; and 1 tsp. fine sea salt. Cook, covered, 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; increase heat to high. Cook and stir 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain cashews; transfer to a food processor bowl.

Add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp. smoked paprika. Process 5 minutes or until smooth. Fold in half of the shallots mixture. Top with remaining to serve.
