Rich, sweet caramelized onions are the dominant flavor in this sour cream and cream cheese-based dip. Savory notes from Worcestershire and soy sauce round out and balance the sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Medium to Large Sweet Onions
  • 2-3 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt, to taste
  • Splash of Dry White Wine, to taste (optional)
  • 12 oz. Full Fat Sour Cream
  • 8 oz. Full Fat Cream Cheese, cubed, softened to room temperature
  • Splash of Worcestershire Sauce, to taste
  • Splash of Soy Sauce, to taste
  • Fresh Parsley, chopped, to taste

Instructions

1

Melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat.

2

Add onions and let cook over low for heat for up to 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring every 20 or 30 minutes.

3

After about 1.5 hours, when the onions have turned golden and there is a bit of liquid in the pan, add a generous pinch of Kosher salt and turn heat up to medium to cook off the liquid. Stir the onions more often to keep them from scorching.

4

After about 15 minutes, add a splash of white wine and continue cooking the liquid off. Raise the burner to medium-high if necessary to reduce the liquid. Stir the onions more often to keep them from scorching.

5

In a large bowl, stir together the sour cream and the cream cheese.

6

Chop the onions and add them to the cheese and sour cream mixture.

7

Mix well and add a splash of Worcestershire and Soy Sauce to taste.

8

Add more salt if needed.
