Fresh Onion Dip
You get the sweet taste of the onion and then the spark of the spices in this Fresh Onion Dip.
Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia, Walla Walla, etc.)*
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 4 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
Instructions
- In medium skillet, cook onion in butter for about 5 minutes or until tender. Cool.
- In blender container or food processor bowl, combine cooked onion, sour cream and seasonings (except chives). Cover and blend until nearly smooth. (I like my dips on the chunky side, so I skipped this step and just mixed everything together.) Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in chives and cover and chill 1 to 24 hours.
- Before serving, stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary to make of dipping consistency.
Notes
* I used a HEAPING 1 1/2 cups onion (somewhere between 1 1/2 to almost 2 cups) and cooked them a little longer until they were caramelized.
