Chef Alli's Divine Dips

We cannot get enough of these absolutely DIVINE dips that Chef Alli prepared for our recent knife skills class! She very graciously agreed to share these special recipes, and we know you will absolutely adore them as much as Rebecca does. The Green Garlic dip is great for any fresh-cut veg, but would also be incredible swirled on top of soup as a garnish, tossed with roasted vegetables, or spooned atop a piece of grilled steak. The Caramelized Onion dip is the perfect pairing for some sea-salty chips, but could also make a phenomenal spread for a grilled burger or a stuffed chicken breast. However you serve them, Rebecca promises you will enjoy them and impress your guests all summer long with their uniqueness and deliciousness!

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 3 medium onions, halved and diced
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1 1/2 cups sour cream, at room temperature
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

    Instructions

    In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 35-40 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cook, stirring, until the water has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Let the onions cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
