French Onion Dip

Ingredients:

– 2 Tbs. canola oil

– 1 Tbs. butter

– 2 Vidalia onions, sliced into 1/4” rings (~ 4 C.)

– 2 large shallots, sliced into 1/8” rings (~ 1/2 C.)

– 2 C. sour cream

– 1 C. mayonnaise

– 1 tsp. celery salt

– 1 tsp. Worcestershire

– 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

– 1 tsp. salt

Preparation: In a large saute pan over low heat, add oil and butter. When butter is melted, add onions and saute stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized, about 35 min. Add shallots and saute for 15 min. more until onions and shallots are dark brown. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 to 6 min., then chop into 1/4” pieces. Set aside to cool to room temp. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Fold in onion mixture. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight, prior to serving.
