French Onion Dip
Description
This French Onion Dip starts by slowly cooking chopped yellow onions in butter and canola oil with fresh thyme and kosher salt, allowing the onions to soften and caramelize over about 30 minutes. Adding soy sauce deepens the umami and provides a rich nutty aroma. Careful stirring prevents burning and allows the onions to develop a jammy texture.
The cooled caramelized onions are then combined with Greek yogurt, sour cream, and onion powder to create a creamy, balanced dip with sweet and savory flavors and a hint of herbal thyme. The dip benefits from resting for 30 minutes to three days in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld.
This dip offers a fresher, tangy alternative to classic sour cream-based onion dips, with the use of yogurt adding brightness and protein while maintaining creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 onion chopped, yellow
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt , divided
- 2 teaspoons thyme fresh leaves
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Stonyfield, whole milk, plain
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Melt the butter with the canola oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt and fresh thyme leaves. Cook the onions for 5 minutes or until they start to soften, stirring so they don't crisp or brown in spots. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover with a lid, and continue to cook for 30 minutes, stirring the onions every 10-15 minutes or so. Add the additional 1 teaspoon of salt and the soy sauce as the onions reduce and become more golden and jammy, giving off a rich nutty aroma. If the onions look like they're beginning to burn or crisp, stir in a splash of water or broth and scrape the caramelized fond from the bottom of the pan for the onions to absorb. Remove from the heat and cool.
- Mix the greek yogurt with the sour cream and onion powder in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled onions and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 3 days before serving.
