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)
- Melt Butter: Melt the salted butter in a pan over low heat to create a gentle cooking base for the onions.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chop Onions: Once caramelized, chop the onions finely or snip them with scissors to evenly distribute them in the dip.
- Mix Cream Base: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- 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.
