Pan-Fried
Onion Dip Recipe
Makes about 2 cups
2 large yellow onions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Cut the onions in half, and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick half-rounds.
(You will have about 3 cups of onions) Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté
pan on medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt and pepper and sauté for 10
minutes.
Reduce heat to
medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes, until the
onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.
Place the cream
cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer (use a
paddle attachment if you have one). Beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix
well by hand. Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
