Pan-Fried Onion Dip
Copyright, 1999, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, All rights reserved

Ingredients
2 large yellow onions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup good mayonnaise

Directions
Cut the onions in half and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick
half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.) Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan
over medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 minutes. Reduce the
heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes until the onions are browned

and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.

Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the
paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings. Serve at
room temperature.
