Creamy Triple Onion Dip
Ingredients
| * | 2 tablespoons good-quality olive oil |
| * | 2 sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Maui, cut into small dice |
| * | 3 scallions, chopped |
| * | 1 tablespoon sugar |
| * | 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
| * | 1/4 cup sour cream |
| * | 1/4 cup mayonnaise |
| * | 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
| * | Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
| * | 1 plum or Roma tomato, cored, seeded and finely diced |
| * | Tortilla chips or crostini for serving |
Instructions
| 1 | Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, covered, stirring often, until onions are soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. |
| 2 | Uncover, reduce heat to low and continue to saute, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely soft and beginning to caramelize, about 15 minutes. Add scallions and continue to saute 5 minutes more. |
| 3 | Add sugar and continue to saute, stirring constantly, until onions achieve a golden caramel color, about 5-7 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and stir to combine. Cook long enough to allow the vinegar to evaporate. Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool. |
| 4 | Add sour cream, mayonnaise and chives to cooled onion mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill in refrigerator for 3 hours or more. (Can be made up to 2 days before serving.) |
| 5 | When ready to serve, top with diced tomato. Serve with tortilla chips or crostini. |
