French Onion Dip: How to Make an Original Sauce

French onion dip is a rich, aromatic and delicate sauce that perfectly complements vegetable slices, chips, bread, meat or baked potatoes. Its taste is based on the sweetness of caramelized onions, the piquancy of spices and the creamy texture. We at joy-pup tell you how to easily make this sauce at home.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 large onions (preferably sweet varieties)
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 200 g sour cream (20-25%)
• 100 g cream cheese (for example, “Philadelphia”)
• 1 tsp. soy sauce
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp sugar (optional, to enhance caramelization)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-step recipe

• Peel and thinly slice the onion into half rings. Melt the butter with olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion. Fry it over medium heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft, golden brown and fragrant. At the end, add sugar and a little salt to enhance the flavor.
• In a bowl, combine cream cheese and sour cream, beat until smooth. Add garlic powder, soy sauce, pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
• Chop the cooled caramelized onion finely with a knife or lightly beat it with a blender (if you want a smoother texture). Add it to the sauce and mix well again.
• Let the dip sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour – during this time the flavors will combine and the taste will become more intense.
