CARAMELIZED FRENCH ONION DIP



Caramelized French Onion Dip image

My family loves French onion dip but I find most recipes made from fresh onions tend to be very sweet. By adding the beef bouillon and Worcestershire sauce, it deepens the flavors and slows the caramelization of the onions. The result is a savory dip that goes great with veggies, crackers, and chips. Enjoy!

Provided by CJ

Categories     Dips and Spreads

Time 2h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups diced yellow onions
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup water, or more if needed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon beef base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pint sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup water, Worcestershire, beef base, onion powder, and thyme. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until beef base is dissolved.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Liquid will slowly evaporate and onions will caramelize. If onions start to stick to the pan, throw in a splash of water and scrape up the delicious bits. Taste before adding sugar, salt, and pepper. Once seasoned to your liking, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix cooled onions with sour cream until well combined. Chill for 1 hour before serving.

CARAMELIZED ONION DIP



Caramelized Onion Dip image

This sour-cream dip variation features caramelized onions inside a roasted Spanishonion.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large Spanish or other yellow onions, for serving "bowls" (optional)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt
3 pounds yellow onions (about 8 large), halved and thinly sliced, plus 1 small onion for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream (8 ounces)
Freshly ground pepper
Crisp Onions, for garnish (optional)
Roasted Fingerling Potato Chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • If serving the dip in Spanish-onion "bowls": Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top third off each onion, and discard. Trim bottoms so that onions are level when set in a baking dish. Drizzle with some olive oil; season with salt. Bake until soft, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. When onions are cool enough to handle, pull out and discard all but the outermost 2 or 3 layers. Set "bowls" aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Cook sliced onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cover; reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 40 minutes.
  • Raise heat to medium, and season onions with salt. Stir in vinegar; simmer until mixture is dry. Stir in thyme; remove from heat. Let cool; coarsely chop onions.
  • With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in sour cream and caramelized onions with a rubber spatula; season with salt and pepper. Divide dip among onion "bowls," or transfer to a dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Make garnish if desired: Heat the safflower oil in a medium skillet over high until hot. Thinly slice the remaining small onion, and fry in small batches until crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with crisp onions; serve with roasted fingerling potato crisps if desired.

Tips for Making Caramelized Onion and Sour Cream Spread
