Tonja’s Table Thanksgiving Starter—Caramelized Onion Dip & Chips

I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Thanksgiving.  I love the recipes handed down from our families–not only because they are sooo good—they are nostalgic too.  I trust you have those same recipes in your family and  I don’t like to mess with a good thing.  I do however, like to ward off the vultures that lurk around my kitchen until Thanksgiving dinner is served, so I’ve made for you this oh-so-delicious caramelized onion dip. Perfect with your favorite potato chips and a whole slew of veggies.  It’s enough to keep everyone satiated until the big meal but won’t have you loosening your belt.

I also had this dip on my grazing table at Twin Cities Live and the producers wanted the recipe pronto.  I’m warning you–it’s addicting!

Instructions

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently until translucent and starting to color, about 10 minutes.  Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to cook, until onions are nicely caramelized, approximately 20 more minutes. If the pan becomes dry, add a splash of wine and keep stirring.

Remove onions to a large bowl and set aside to cool.

In the meantime, place the sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic powder Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon of salt into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the parsley and onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings.

Serve at room temperature.
