Caramelized Onion Dip

Caramelized Onion Dip

Ingredients

• 3 Large Sweet Onions, sliced thinly

• 1 Tbsp Butter

• 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus 1 Tsp

• 3 Tsp Coarse Kosher Salt, divided

• 1 Whole Roasted Garlic Bulb

• ¼ c White Wine (use what you like to drink)

• 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce

• ½ Tsp Black Pepper

• 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temp

• ¾ c Sour Cream

• ¼ c Mayonnaise

• 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped, divided

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 400°F

2. Cut the top of garlic off so all cloves are exposed, place garlic on a piece of tin foil.

3. Drizzle olive oil (1 tsp) on top of garlic, wrap tin foil and roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes until garlic is soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool.

4. In a cast iron skillet, melt the butter, add 1 tbsp olive oil, onions, and 2 tsp salt.  Saute over medium low heat until onions are golden brown for about 20-25 minutes. Every few minutes give the onions a stir.  If onions are not caramelized within this timing, turn up the heat a bit. Once caramelized, turn heat back down to medium low.

5. Pour in the wine and give it a stir.  Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping up all the caramelized bits, then add the worcestershire sauce and simmer for another minute, give it a stir and remove from heat; cool to room temperature.

6. In a food processor add the softened cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise and pulse until incorporated.  Add the onions, roasted garlic, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper and 1 tbsp parsley and pulse until blended.

7. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with parsley and serve with potato chips, crackers and or veggie sticks.

You can make this a day ahead and leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
