Creamy Sweet Onion Dip
Creamy Sweet Onion Dip
While this recipe is included in our book to pair with our Crispy Zucchini Fries as the ultimate condiment, it is far more than just a dip. The caramelized onions that build the base of this dip possess a unique flavor that is unparalleled. Need to ramp up the flavor of those scrambled eggs? Add a dollop of this dip. Hamburgers on tonight’s menu? Use this as your spread instead of mayonnaise. Grilled steak this weekend? You got it—add a dollop. You can even use this as a great topper for baked or roasted potatoes. We bet you’ll find so many uses for it, and we couldn’t be happier about that.
Ingrediënten
yield: 1Âľ cups (420 ml)
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tbsp 12 g ghee or 1 tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil
- Âľ cup Back Porch Mayo
- 2 tbsp 30 ml apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp 15 ml Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper or as needed
- 1 tbsp 4 g finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructies
- Slice the onion in half and remove the skin and the end with the root.
- Cut each half into Âľ-inch (2-cm)-thick strips.
- Heat a 10-inch (25-cm) cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the ghee and let it melt, then add the onion strips and stir them to coat them with the ghee.
- Cook the onions for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring them occasionally, until they are golden.
- Do not increase the heat, as these onions are best cooked low and slow.
- Once the onions are done, transfer them to a small plate.
- Set the plate aside and allow the onions to cool.
- In the bowl of a large food processor, combine the Back Porch Mayo, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, black pepper and cooled onions.
- Pulse the food processor until the onions are roughly chopped and the ingredients are combined.
- If you prefer a completely smooth dip, continue pulsing until the ingredients are completely combined.
- Add the parsley (if using) and pulse one last time to combine it with the dip.
- Transfer the dip to a medium container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Use this dip on all the things you might normally use mayonnaise and especially with our Crispy Zucchini Fries.
