Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large Spanish onion
1 Vidalia onion, finely chopped
3 cipollini onions, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
3 scallions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped (about 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the thyme, shallots, garlic and all the varieties of onions. Saute, stirring constantly. (Onions absorb oil quickly, so add more if necessary.) Continue to cook until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, add the yogurt and cream cheese and stir together. Add in the onions, scallions and chives. Stir well to combine.

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!

Time 2h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.
