Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- 2 yellow onions (sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves ( minced)
- 2 cups sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Instruction:
- Heat the butter or oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat and add the onions. Stir the onions for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low.
- Continue stirring the onions every 2 to 3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize on the bottom before stirring again. If they start to stick or brown, add a few tablespoons of water to rehydrate them and deglaze the pan.
- Continue cooking the onions for approximately 45 minutes or until they’re cooked to your liking. When there’s one minute left on the onions, add the minced garlic and sauté for one minute. For more help with the onions, you can watch exactly how to make caramelized onions step-by-step on my separate recipe post.
- Once the onions have caramelized, transfer them to a small bowl and place them in the fridge to cool.
- After the onions have cooled, add them to a mixing bowl with the sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until creamy and garnish with additional herbs.
