Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt

Onion Mixture

  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced yellow onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden and sweet, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  3. Cool the Onion Mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and allow the caramelized onion mixture to cool completely to prevent the yogurt from curdling in the next step.
  4. Combine with Greek Yogurt: In a mixing bowl, gently fold the cooled onion mixture into the Greek yogurt until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use low heat for onions to bring out their natural sweetness without burning.
  • Ensure onions have fully cooled before mixing with yogurt to keep the dip smooth.
  • Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, but adjust fat content based on preference.
  • Adjust seasoning after chilling as flavors intensify upon resting.
  • Store dip in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing is possible for up to 1 month but may affect texture; thaw overnight in fridge.
  • Serve cold or at room temperature; avoid microwaving to prevent separation.
