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

  1. Melt Butter: Melt the salted butter in a pan over low heat to create a gentle cooking base for the onions.
  2. Caramelize Onions: Add 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.
  3. Deglaze Pan: Pour in the dry white wine in splashes to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits, and let the liquid reduce fully to intensify the flavor.
  4. Chop Onions: Once caramelized, chop the onions finely or snip them with scissors to evenly distribute them in the dip.
  5. Mix Cream Base: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Add the caramelized onions, grated garlic (if using), Worcestershire or soy sauce, and minced parsley into the cream mixture. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve: Serve the dip either warm or chilled with chips, bread, or vegetables for dipping and enjoy an elegant, savory treat.

Notes

  • The dip can be served warm or cold depending on your preference.
  • Use soy sauce instead of Worcestershire for a vegetarian or vegan-friendly option, though the recipe contains dairy.
  • Caramelizing onions low and slow is key for deep flavor and sweetness.
  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese to ensure a smooth dip without lumps.
  • Adjust salt levels carefully since both Worcestershire sauce and salted butter add saltiness.
  • Fresh parsley adds a bright, herbaceous note—feel free to increase or reduce quantity.
