Ingredients
Scale
Caramelized Onions
- 3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 60ml dry white wine
Dip Mixture
- 340g sour cream
- 225g cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, grated (optional)
- Fresh parsley, minced (to taste)
- Few dashes Worcestershire or soy sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Place a pan over low heat and melt the salted butter gently to prepare for caramelizing the onions.
- Caramelize the Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions, salt, and sugar to the pan. Cook slowly over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become jammy and golden brown.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the dry white wine in small splashes to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to fully reduce, intensifying the flavor of the onions.
- Prepare the Onions: Remove the caramelized onions from heat and chop them finely or snip them with scissors to your preferred texture.
- Mix the Cream Base: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the caramelized onions, grated garlic (if using), Worcestershire or soy sauce, and minced fresh parsley to the cream mixture. Stir thoroughly and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve: Serve the dip warm or chilled, paired with chips, bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors enhanced by a touch of fresh herbs and umami sauce.
Notes
- Cooking the onions slowly is key for developing a deep, sweet flavor without burning them.
- The dip can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated to allow flavors to meld even more.
- For a vegan version, substitute sour cream and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives, and use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and sauces to taste for personal preference.
- This dip pairs excellently with crispy potato chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh crudités.
