Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)

Onions and Cooking Fat

  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Flavor Enhancers

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil or butter over low heat in a large skillet. Add thinly sliced yellow onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes until the onions turn golden brown and develop a sweet, rich aroma.
  2. Add Garlic and Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add Worcestershire sauce and mix well to enhance the umami flavor.
  3. Combine with Greek Yogurt: Remove the onion mixture from heat and let it cool slightly to prevent curdling. Gently fold the cooled onion mixture into the Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly until smooth.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld perfectly. Stir before serving and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Cook onions low and slow for the best caramelization and flavor.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture that avoids watery consistency.
  • Ensure the onion mixture cools before combining with yogurt to prevent curdling.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving for vibrant color and taste.
  • If dip is too thick, stir in a little milk or water to reach desired consistency.
