Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, cut in half lengthwise and crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 dashes hot sauce, optional
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
Chopped chives, for garnish, optional
Directions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until soft and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in the vinegar and simmer until the mixture is dry. Add the hot sauce if using. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow the onions to cool slightly.
