[Homemade French Onion Dip Recipe]
>> Hilah: The first thing you do is caramelize our onions, well, I don’t really have the
patience for like real caramelized onions, so I am gonna just kind of show you a little
shortcut between me and you, don’t tell top chef or anybody.
All right.
I’ve got my butter and oil melting here, and some diced red onion.
You could use shallots or you could also just use like yellow onion, but I really like the
color in the final dish when you use red onion or shallots.
Shallots have a little bit of that color to them to.
So get that all coated, and then literally like a pinch of sugar, and then a little bit
of salt, and the salt is gonna help soften the onions quicker by drawing the moisture
out of them, and the sugar’s just gonna kind of accelerate the, the natural caramelization
that’s going to happen, and then I’m gonna turn the heat down to about a medium high.
I can spread out, and cover it, and just leave it alone for five minutes, and then we’ll
come back, and when the onions look like this, and they smell really delicious; BT Dubs.
Then you can add the garlic, and we’ll just kind of smoodge that around for a minute or
so.
We don’t want the garlic to get brown like the onion.
Once the garlic’s just a little bit softened I am going to add the dry herbs, and then
some sherry vinegar.
You could probably use, very impressive, you could probably use red wine vinegar.
I am sure that would be fine too; maybe even balsamic vinegar, so we’ll just, we’re
just deglazing the pan here to get all the little, brown onion caramelized bits off the
bottom.
Holy cow!
I got an eye full of vinegar steam, and then that looks good.
I am just gonna turn this off, and we’re ready to actually make the dip.
For my dip base here I’ve just got some Greek yogurt.
You could probably use sour cream, but I always have yogurt in the house.
Y’all probably know that about me by now.
Our onions, and a little bit of fresh parsley, and some salt and pepper.
Okay.
I am just, mix it up good.
Okay.
So, this is better if you let it sit in the fridge for an hour or longer or you know,
like I said earlier you could leave it in there all week if you wanted to, and it just
gets better and better like me; the longer I just sit around.
Just kidding.
But I am gonna go ahead and taste it now, and just fine.
[CRUNCH].
Mmmmmmm!
Oh man!
Store bought French onion dip ain’t got nothing on this.
I can tell you that much.
All right.
This is just like rich and creamy, just I like my men, just kidding.
On that note.
Have a great week.
Thanks so much for watching!
If you have any questions, leave them down below and I will get to them as soon as I
can, and I hope you guys try this recipe and I’ll see you later!
