Sour Cream and Onion Dip image

Take plenty of time to properly caramelize a mixture of onions and shallots and you'll be greatly rewarded with a depth of flavor that you would never get from a powdered packet. Resist the urge to cook them at a higher temperature in order to rush the process - they'll burn before they brown and soften. The addition of Greek yogurt might seem unusual, but it provides a lightness and tang that sour cream can't deliver by itself.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound yellow onions (about 3 medium), thinly sliced
2 shallots, thinly sliced
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 cup full fat Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Olive oil, for drizzling
1/4 cup finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onions and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and starting to turn a nice golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring often to make sure the onions don't stick along the bottom of the skillet. Cook until onions are a deep golden brown and reduced by about half their original size, another 45 to 55 minutes. Resist the urge to turn up the heat to make them caramelize faster. It will lead to burning.
  • Transfer onions and shallots to a cutting board and finely chop. Place in a large bowl along with sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper and sprinkle with chives.

I've tried a lot of sour cream and onion dips, but this one is by far the best. The secret ingredient is the onion powder, which really gives it a delicious flavor.
