Onion Squares


This recipe was a favourite in our home when growing up. All us girls have fond memories of it. I have Vegan-ized the recipe as it did contain eggs, butter and sour cream. Our guests tonight REALLY enjoyed it and I am sure it will pass the family test too!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Spelt flour, unbleached
2 tsp Salt Skip * (healthy alternative to Baking Powder)
1/2 tsp Celtic Salt
1/4 cup Olive Oil
3/4 cup Milk alternative (rice, soy)
10 onions, sliced in half moons
1 Tbs Olive Oil (for the onions)
2 tsp Celtic Salt (for the onions)
1/2 cup Coconut Cream
2-3 Tbs Cornflour
1 tsp Celtic Salt (for the coconut cream mixture)
1/8 tsp Cayenne Chilli
2 Tbs Parsley, chopped finely

Step 1 : Place the flour into a bowl with the 'Salt Skip' or your own prefered baking powder alternatively. Whisk well together. Add the olive oil and milk and knead well. Use a rolling pin to roll out to the size of a large lasagne dish. Oil your dish and place your dough into it. You may need to push out the dough to the edges with your fingers.

Step 2 : Fry together the onions and salt until the onions are caramalized and soft. Spread out the onion mixture evenly on top of your dough. Sprinkle the parsley on top of the onions.

Step 3 : Mix well together the coconut cream, cornflour, salt, cayenne and pour evenly on top of the onion mixture. It may seem like a little amount but it works out great.

Step 4 : Bake in a preheated oven of 180 degrees celsius for 25-30 minutes. You want the coconut mixture to not be runny. Let cool for a few minutes and serve as a side dish. Enjoy!
