CARAMELIZED ONION DIP I

Category: Dips - Cold

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions (about 1 1/2 lbs), finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
3 tsp onion powder

In a large thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat saute the chopped onions in the olive oil along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a wood or metal spatula and cook until the onions are deeply golden, brown, and caramelized roughly 40 or 50 minutes. Set aside and let cool.

In the meantime, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, and salt. The important thing is to add whatever onion powder 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. (I think this dip is best at room temperature.)

Makes about 2 cups.
