SOUR CREAM AND ROASTED RED ONION DIP



Sour Cream and Roasted Red Onion Dip image

Here's how to make onion dip without standing near the stove for an eternity, waiting for onions to caramelize: Roast rings of onion in the oven with the teeniest bit of sugar for 40 minutes for effortlessly faux-caramelized onions. Red onions are naturally a bit sweeter and mellower than white ones, especially when they get brown and slouchy, but lemon juice, chives and raw garlic will perk them right up. The creaminess - what we're here for - comes from three sources: sour cream, mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, a nice counter to the crisp potato chips you'll, of course, serve it with.

Time 50m

Yield About 8 to 10 servings (2½ cups)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound red onions, cut into 1/4-inch rings (about 2 large onions)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons minced chives
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving room between each. (Use 2 baking sheets if the onions won't all fit comfortably on 1.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar and gently flip to coat, keeping the rings as intact as possible. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once, until soft and browning (It's O.K. if some parts get crisp and charred).
  • Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. (You want to have small pieces of onion without making a paste.)
  • Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and add the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and black pepper. Fold to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with minced chives. Serve with potato chips.

ROASTED GARLIC & ONION DIP RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Roasted Garlic & Onion Dip Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 12

NOTE:
1 large sweet onion (like Vidalia)
1 head of garlic
olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instead of the dried spices, use 2-3 tsp of Susie-Q Santa Maria Style seasoning.

Steps:

  • For the roasted garlic: Cut the top ⅓ off the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and put in a foil packet. Bake at 350F 45 minutes (or until the cloves are nice and soft). Set aside, and allow to cool; then squeeze each clove to remove the deliciously roasted garlic. It's so sweet! Mash the cloves with a fork. Dice the onion. In a saute pan over medium heat add olive oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. For the dip: In a bowl, add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Add the roasted garlic, onion and seasonings. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your own preference. NOTE: Originally, I sliced the onion very thin (rather than dicing them). I didn't like how the onion became one stringy clump at the end-- next time, I'd definitely dice the onions so they are more evenly distributed.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 red onion, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon thinly sliced chives, plus a pinch for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the onions to a foil-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss everything together. Transfer to the oven and roast for 35 minutes, or until the onions are tender and golden. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, chives and the roasted onions. Beat until light and fluffy and well-combined. Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the top and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for this dip, as they have a milder flavor than red onions.
  • Roast the onions until they are caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: This will make the dip creamy and flavorful.
  • Add some sour cream: This will help to balance out the richness of the mayonnaise.
  • Season the dip to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Tortilla chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great choices.

Conclusion:

Roasted onion dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give roasted onion dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
