Caramelized Onion and Shallot Dip – Ryder Sisters Recipe Collection

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large yellow onions (about 1 1⁄2 pounds), finely chopped

2 shallots, finely chopped

3⁄4 cup sour cream (low-fat is fine if you like)

3⁄4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat is fine if you like)

~3 teaspoons dehydrated onion powder/granulates (salt-free, natural)

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

pinch of black pepper

pinch of cayenne pepper

pinch of season salt

pinch of garlic salt

In a large thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat sauté the chopped onions and shallots in

the olive oil along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a spatula and cook

until the onions are a deep golden brown color and caramelized – roughly 40 or 50 minutes.

Set aside and let cool.

In the meantime, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, salt, pepper, season

salt and garlic salt. The important thing is to add whatever onion powder and other

seasoning you are using to taste. Add a bit at a time until it tastes really good. Set aside until

the caramelized onions have cooled to room temperature. Stir in 2/3 of the caramelized

onions, scoop into a serving bowl, and top with the remaining onions.
