Ingredients
- 2 pounds large yellow or white onions, thinly sliced
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces total)
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives
- 1/4 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°. Mix onions, shallots, thyme sprigs, and oil in a large roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast onion mixture, stirring and scraping down sides of pan every 10 minutes, until mixture starts to break down and turn golden brown, 45–55 minutes.
Discard thyme sprigs. Add wine and vinegar; stir to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Return onion mixture to oven. Continue roasting, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown and completely caramelized, about 15 minutes longer. Spread onion mixture out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
Transfer onion mixture to a work surface and mince. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in sour cream, chives, yogurt, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Dip can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; chill.
