Best 3 Sour Cream And Onion Dip Recipes

SOUR CREAM AND ROASTED RED ONION DIP

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.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION DIP

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.

Steps:

• Heat the plant-based butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat until the butter melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the onion and mix well. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply brown, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika and thyme and cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until the garlic is lightly browned.
• Scrape onion mixture into a small food processor or blender and pulse 4 or 5 times or until the onions are puréed.
• Add the plant-based cream cheese and lemon juice and pulse 4 or 5 times until the onions are well dispersed throughout and dip has the consistency of sour cream. Do not over-pulse, or the plant based cream cheese will begin to get loose and runny. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the dried, chopped onions if using. Garnish with crispy shallots and more thyme, if desired. Serve with chips or crudités.
