Another wonderful recipezaar.com contributor recipe I've modified for dietary reasons. See Caramelized Onion Dip/Spread from kittencal for the original. This dip is so good with veggies, crackers, or on a burger. We couldn't get enough of the sweet caramelized onions and kick of cayenne flavors, and we didn't even miss the fat.

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!

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.

Tips:

  • Use Sweet Onions: Vidalia or Maui onions are recommended for their natural sweetness, which caramelizes well.
  • Slice Onions Thinly: Thinly sliced onions will caramelize more evenly and quickly.
  • Cook Onions Low and Slow: Caramelizing onions takes time and patience. Cook them over low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a Splash of Acid: A splash of vinegar, lemon juice, or white wine can help to deglaze the pan and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Season to Taste: Once the onions are caramelized, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, this dip is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Serve it with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
