Description
A twist on onion jam brings simple ingredients into an awesome dip suitable for any party.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 whole Large Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1 pinch Salt To Taste
- 2 cloves Garlic, Grated
- ¼ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
- ½ Tablespoons Fish Sauce
- 1 whole Lime, Zested
- ½ whole Lime, Juiced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste
- 8 ounces, weight Sour Cream
- Your Favorite Potato Chips, To Serve
Preparation
Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat, add butter and onions. Shower onions with a generous pinch of salt. The goal is to cook these nice and slow, until they are caramalized and a nice golden color. This process can take about 40 minutes, or longer, but be patient and stir throughout the process.
Once you achieve a golden color, add garlic and cook, stirring the garlic into the onions. After a minute or two, add cracked black pepper, fish sauce, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir, raise the heat just a bit, and cook another minute or two.
Remove the onions from the heat, place them in a bowl, and let them come to room temperature. Once onions have cooled, take about 1 cup of onions and add to a small mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, salt, and sour cream. Mix. Place the dip into a serving bowl, alongside your favorite potato chips, and dig in.
I’m not sure if my daughter will start calling this ‘Dad’s Dip,’ but what I do know is that she spooned out two small bowls of it and went to town. I think I won on that front. If you are looking not only for a great onion jam recipe but also one that can be folded into some basic ingredients and made into a great dip, give this one a shot. Hope you enjoy!
