April 1, 2009: Caramelised Onion Dip

I've had this recipe poised for usage for a few weeks. I originally intended to larn inwards for a beach political party but drizzle kept us away from the coast together with I repurposed it for a seminar afternoon at work. It's onion dip, but non equally I'd seen it earlier - without the crunchy onion chunks together with weird additives of the supermarket stuff, but neither relying on the powdered soup mix of other dwelling recipes. Instead it uses onion pulverization together with features glistening caramelised onions! It does accept to a greater extent than or less patience to dull laid those onions downward to sweetness golden perfection, but it's a doddle from there.

Heidi (of 101 Cookbooks) has got my snacking predilections downward perfectly alongside this one. The yoghurt-sour cream base of operations is creamy alongside a niggling tang land the onions are sweetness and savoury. It's truly hard for me to hold whatsoever feel of decorum when a bowl of this dip together with a few crackers are inside reach.
