Step 1

Start by setting a big pot of water to boil (about 10 cups). To the water add 1 whole onion cut in half and 1 head of garlic cut down the middle and 1 big tablespoon of salt.

Step 14

Blend the veggies together with the nut butter. Blend for another 2-3 min until you have nice thick and smooth consistency
