Description
A creamy and savory dip made with deeply caramelized onions, perfect for game days or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions (about 2 pounds), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1–2 tablespoons dry sherry, balsamic vinegar, or water (for deglazing)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to taste)
- Chives or parsley for garnish
- Potato chips, pretzel bites, or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium-low heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring every 4–6 minutes, for about 30–40 minutes until deeply golden brown.
- Deglaze the pan with sherry, balsamic, or water and cool the onions to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt.
- Fold in the cooled caramelized onions and chill for at least 1 hour to meld flavors.
- Adjust seasoning before serving and garnish with chives or parsley.
- Serve with chips or vegetable sticks.
Notes
For a lighter dip, substitute Greek yogurt for some of the mayonnaise. The dip improves in flavor after sitting overnight.
