Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable broth (or water)

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat vegetable broth (or water) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sprinkle with a few pinches of the sea salt. Sauté for 10 minutes, adding a touch more vegetable broth (or water) if the onion begins to stick to the skillet.

  3. Place the cooked vegetables, remaining sea salt, walnuts, balsamic vinegar and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until well-blended but not completely smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Place in a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with celery sticks and matzo crackers.
