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.
