Creamy Caramelized Onion Dip
Pairs Well With
Makes 1 1/2 Cups
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 sweet onions, chopped
kosher salt and pepper (at least 1/2 teaspoon of each, probably more)
1 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon garlic powder
fresh herbs, like parsley, for topping
Preparation
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the onions with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, just until the onions begin to soften. Turn the heat down to low (or medium-low, if low isn’t cooking them), and cook, stirring often, until the onions are dark brown and caramelized, anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how much you want to babysit them. The onions are in smaller pieces and are more apt to burn so keep an eye on them and stir often, reducing the heat when needed. Add a splash of water to the pan if it gets dry at any time. Let the onions cool slightly before adding them to the dip.
Whisk together the sour cream, mayo, garlic powder, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Once the onions are cooled off, stir them in. Continue to stir until everything is combined. Taste the dip and if you need more salt, add it in.
If you make it ahead of time, this stays great in the fridge as it will thicken up a bit. It is also great served immediately with chips, crackers, pretzels, or veggies.
