Instructions
  1. Caramelize the onions. Heat the butter or oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat and add the onions. Stir the onions for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low.
  2. Continue caramelizing. Continue stirring the onions every 2 to 3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize on the bottom before stirring again. If they start to stick or brown, add a few tablespoons of water to rehydrate them and deglaze the pan.
  3. Finish caramelizing. Continue cooking the onions for approximately 45 minutes or until they’re cooked to your liking. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. For more help with the onions, you can watch exactly how to make caramelized onions step-by-step on my separate recipe post.
  4. Chill and chop. Once the onions have caramelized, transfer them to a small bowl and place them in the fridge to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop them for smaller, bite-sized pieces. Note: don’t add warm caramelized onions to the dip or you’ll risk it melting.
  5. Stir together. Add the full cooled caramelized onions to a mixing bowl with the sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until creamy and garnish with additional herbs.
