Caramelized onions add a unique flavor to any dish or appetizer. They're also a great addition to a cheese dip. To soften the onions, give them a pleasant caramel color, and impart a delicious sweet flavor, sauté them in a mixture of butter and vegetable oil over low heat for a long time. Be patient, avoiding overcooking them until they reach the desired consistency. Add the caramelized onions to a sauce made with cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, stir, and enjoy their sweet and salty flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 large onions
• 4 tbsp (60 g) butter

• 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

Step 1
• Halve the onion and then slice into 0.3 cm thick half-moons (you'll have about 3 cups of onion). Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sauté, stirring occasionally, for another 20 minutes, until the onion is golden brown and caramelized. Let the onion cool.
Step 2
• Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onion and mix well. Taste. Serve the dip at room temperature.
