Onion And Thyme Dip Food

CARAMELIZED ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and brown, about 20 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if the onions brown too quickly. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add the onion mixture and stir until well combined. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. The dip can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. When ready to serve, scatter the chives over the top and serve with potato chips.

CARAMELIZED ONION DIP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Throw in the onions, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar until melted. Continue cooking until very deep in color, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add the ricotta and sour cream and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chives, Worcestershire, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and three-quarters of the caramelized onions, reserving the rest for garnish. Pulse 5 or 6 times, until the onions are incorporated but still have some texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Top with the reserved caramelized onions and sprinkle over the remaining parsley. Serve with chips, carrots, radishes and sugar snap peas.

FRIED ONION DIP

Steps:

• First, clarify the butter so that you can fry the onions at high heat and put a very dark, almost burnt crust on them. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until it foams and browns. Remove from the heat. Tilt the skillet and carefully spoon off the foam, saving it in a small bowl. Pour the clear butter into another bowl, and pour the dark dregs at the bottom of the skillet into the bowl with the foam. Add the clear butter to a larger heavy skillet. (Discard the butter foam and dregs.)
• Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fry the onions, flipping them now and then, until they're dark on the edges, even black and crispy in spots, about 10 minutes. Add the honey and garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the vermouth, bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Put the sour cream and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Finely chop the fried onions on a cutting board and add them, along with their pan juices, to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the chives. Add the cayenne and season with salt.
• Transfer to a small bowl and garnish with more chives. (This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated.)

CARAMELIZED ONIONS WITH THYME

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pan set over medium-high heat. Peel and slice the onions into rounds while the butter is melting and add them to the pot. Toss to coat the onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn the heat down to medium and do not cover the pot. You want these babies to get brown! Stir occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes, then turn the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring (switch to a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits) until the onions are browned and soft. Add the thyme leaves, toss and remove from the heat. These will keep for 5 days in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Use the leftovers with eggs, on top of a salad, or straight from the bowl with a fork.
