Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 shallots peeled and thinly sliced
- kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons thinly chopped chives
- Chips for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saute pan or skillet, set over medium low heat, add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add in the shallots and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes. This will sweat a lot of the water out of the pan. Uncover and stir continuously until caramelized, an additional 10 minutes or so.
- Fold in the garlic and cook for an additional minute or so. Transfer to a medium bowl and allow to cool.
- In the medium bowl with the shallots, add the Greek yogurt, a few rounds of black pepper, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and give it a thorough mix. Mix until combined. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with tons of chives on top. Serve with chips.
