REAL SOUR CREAM ONION DIP

Steps:

• Pour onion and oil into a fine strainer; reserve oil in refrigerator for another use. Stir onion into sour cream. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Serve with potato chips or raw vegetables.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion and shallots with 1 teaspoon salt until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, covered, stirring frequently, until vegetables are golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons water, or enough to loosen any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Transfer onion mixture to a medium bowl, then stir in sour cream and remaining 2 tablespoons water. (If desired, thin to desired consistency with additional water.)
• Stir in most of the chives, sprinkling on the rest as a garnish.
• Serve at room temperature.

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.
• 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.

EVERYTHING ONION DIP

Steps:

• Cut both ends off the yellow onion and cut evenly into 2 halves. Remove and discard skin. Place onion halves on a cutting board with cut-sides down. Make vertical slices against the grain, then turn and slice across the cuts to chop. Chop again if you'd like smaller pieces. You should have about 2 cups chopped onion.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Transfer onion and salt into the hot oil. Cook until onions are deep brown in color, 7 to 8 minutes. Add shallots and red onions; stir and saute until they start to soften and sweeten, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in garlic and dried onion. Set aside to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, pepper, cayenne, and cooled onion mixture; mix until thoroughly combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours, or overnight.
• Remove dip from the refrigerator and stir in green onions and chives. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer dip into a serving bowl and garnish with more green onions and chives to serve.
