Ingredients
- 1 garlic bulb
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced (~2 cups)
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced (~1/2 cup)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, additional for garlic drizzle
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided, to taste
- ¼ cup wine, vegetable stock, or water
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon white pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste, vegan if needed
Instructions
- 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.
- 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 30-35 minutes stirring only occasionally as they caramelize.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top with chives and/or chopped parsley as desired. Serve with potato chips or veggie slices and enjoy!
Notes
Worcheshire Sauce: make sure you're using a vegetarian/vegan version to keep this recipe vegetarian.
