CARAMELIZED SWEET ONION DIP



Caramelized Sweet Onion Dip image

From Cooking Light 11/08....."Caramelizing enhances the onion's inherent sweetness. If you can't find sweet onions, substitute two large Spanish onions and add a tablespoon of sugar. This dip is best served warm. If time is tight, you can caramelize the onions (step 2) earlier in the day; combine with the other ingredients and bake just before guests arrive. Serve with a crunchy dipper like melba toast."

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon butter, divided
3 cups sweet onions, diced (about 2 large onions)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
cooking spray
1/3 cup whole wheat panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/8 teaspoon salt to pan; cook 15 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook 10 minutes or until onion is golden brown and very tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, mayonnaise, and next 4 ingredients (through Worcestershire sauce) in a medium bowl, stirring until smooth. Stir in onion mixture. Transfer mixture to a 1-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  • Melt remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter. Combine melted butter and panko. Sprinkle panko mixture evenly over onion mixture. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated and bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for caramelized onion dip, as they have a sweeter flavor than red onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the onions plenty of room to spread out and caramelize properly.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly, without burning.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help them caramelize evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add a pinch of salt: This will help draw out the moisture from the onions and speed up the caramelization process.
  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar: This will add a touch of sweetness and acidity to the caramelized onions.
  • Let the caramelized onions cool completely before using them in the dip: This will help prevent the dip from becoming too runny.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste preferences.
