Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the finely sliced red onions to the pan and stir to coat them with the oil.
- Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. This should take about 20-25 minutes. The onions should become very soft and take on a deep, brown color.
- Halfway through the caramelising process, add the ground cumin. Stir to ensure the cumin is well distributed.
- Once the onions are well caramelised, sprinkle in the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and evenly coated the onions.
- Pour in the vinegar and stir. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the vinegar has mostly evaporated and the mixture is thick and sticky.
- Remove the caramelised onions from the heat and let them cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. You can use a hand mixer to make this process easier and ensure a smooth texture.
- Fold the cooled caramelised onions into the cream cheese and sour cream mixture. Make sure the onions are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy this rich and flavorful caramelised onion dip!
Tips:
- Cook the onions slowly and patiently over medium heat to ensure they caramelize evenly without burning.
- For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during the cooking process.
- Chill the dip for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Experiment with adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to complement the caramelised onions.
