More dips ideas for the hoildays! Ingredients:
2 cups yellow onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
pinch of sugar |
pinch of salt |
1 tablespoon port |
4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup) |
6 oz. plain lowfat or nonfat yogurt |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
juice of 1/2 a lemon |
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped |
salt and cayenne to taste |
Directions:
1. Caramelize onion in olive oil with sugar and salt in a heavy skillet over medium low-heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching, but do not stir too often. They will brown better if left alone. After 5 minutes of cooking, cover the pan (the lid keeps moisture inside so the onions won't burn easily). Cook until brown and very soft, 20-25 minutes. Stir in the port, scraping up any brown residue left on the bottom of the pan; cool onions slightly.
2. Blend cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, Worcestershire and lemon juice in a bowl.
3. Add cooled onions, scallions, salt and cayenne to taste; stir to blend. Cover and chill at least 2 hours but 24 hours is preferred. The dip really changes flavor over that time. Serve with potato chips.
