Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Cut off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Set in the middle of a large square of foil and drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Wrap the foil around the bulb. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cloves are tender. Set aside to let cool.
1 garlic bulb
Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add onions and shallots. Stir in balsamic and about 1/2 teaspoon salt until coated. Cook for 30-45 minutes stirring occasionally as they caramelize. Time will depend on the type of pan and onion slice size.
2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 yellow onion, 1 large shallot, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Deglaze the pan with wine, stock, or water. Scrape the bottom of the pan as you add the liquid. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes until onions are a deep golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Using kitchen shears or a knife, chop onions into the desired size for the dip.
¼ cup wine
Squeeze the garlic bulb to remove the cloves; chop the cloves finely to add to the dip.
In a large bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste), white pepper, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, onions, and garlic. Be sure to taste test and adjust salt or Worcheshire sauce as needed.
1 cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ - ½ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ⅛ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Top with chives and/or chopped parsley as desired. Serve with potato chips or veggie slices and enjoy!
Notes
