How To Make Caramelized Onion Dip Recipe?
- Prep the Onions: Peel and slice the onions thinly.
- Sauté the Onions: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onions, salt, and sugar. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add Wine: Pour in a bit of wine and let it sizzle off. Stir and repeat until the onions are golden brown (about 30 minutes).
- Chop the Onions: Transfer onions to a cutting board and chop them into small pieces, or snip them in the pan.
- Mix the Cream: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
- Combine and Season: Add the caramelized onions to the cream mixture. Stir in parsley and season with Worcestershire sauce soy sauce, and garlic if desired.
- Serve: Serve warm or cold, as you prefer.
Recipe Tips:
- Slice onions thinly: Thin slices help the onions cook evenly and get the best flavor.
- Cook slowly: Let the onions cook for 30 minutes to bring out their sweetness.
- Use a mandoline: A mandoline slicer helps make the onions even, which improves the texture of the dip.
- Add wine slowly: Add wine in small amounts, letting it cook off each time. This makes the onions tastier.
- Adjust the flavor: Taste the dip before serving and add Worcestershire or soy sauce for more flavor if needed.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the dip cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
