Ingredients

12 servings

3 medium size yellow onions
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons each salt and sugar
1/4 cup dry white wine
12 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 clove fresh garlic, grated (optional)
fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced, to taste
a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (!!) to taste

Steps

Peel the onions and slice them very thinly. I always use a mandoline. (affiliate link)
Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and sugar, and saute for 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Pour a little bit of wine in and let it sizzle out. Stir, add wine, sizzle, etc. After about 30 minutes, your onions should be deeply golden brown and fragrant.
Transfer onions to a cutting board and chop coarsely into small pieces – or just use a kitchen scissors and snip them up right in the pan.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and sour cream with a hand mixer or a spoon (depending on how soft the cream cheese is). Stir in the onions and a handful of fresh parsley. Taste and season – if you want just a little sumthin extra, add a small splash (like, a tablespoon or less) of soy sauce and/or Worcestershire, or a clove of freshly grated garlic. YUM. Creamy and so flavorful! You can serve this warm-ish or cold – I love it both ways!
