Pan Fried Onion Dip
This is hands-down one of my most requested appetizers/dips from friends and family. I cannot take any credit – this one hails from Queen Ina herself. Absolutely all of her recipes are perfect, whether you are making them for the first time or the hundredth time. I have said for years that if you follow her recipes, you cannot fail – they always turn out.
That being said, I feel like it takes my onions to carmelize A LOT longer than it indicates in the recipe. Not convinced I am doing anything wrong, but I keep meaning to scale back on the oil/butter and see if I can get the onion to caramelize faster. The recipe written as-is also has a lot of extra oil once the onions are cooked, which I don’t think is necessary, so I tend to drain my onions a bit before transferring them to the bowl with the creamy ingredients. The time it takes to make this dip is worth it though – it’s outstanding! I usually double it since most of the time it’s for a crowd. The store bought versions pale in comparison, unless you can find the Trader Joe’s take, which is pretty darn close in a pinch!
