Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 medium, minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces, softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into half-moons.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the oil. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and starting to caramelize.
Add the balsamic vinegar, granulated sugar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine, and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce and thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion mixture cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese. Mix vigorously until smooth and well blended.
Fold the cooled onion mixture into the cream base, stirring gently until evenly incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Transfer the dip relish to a serving bowl and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
