Vidalia Onion Dip

List of Ingredients





1 tablespoon light vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 cups chopped Vidalia onion (or other sweet onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup strong beef stock
2 tablespoons medium dry sherry
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
Kosher salt



Recipe



Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and 1 generous cup of the onions, and sauté over medium high heat until softened (do not brown), 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and the thyme, drizzle in the stock and sherry, and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl and whip together with an electric mixer on high speed to soften and combine. Add the cooled onion mixture and stir or blend in on low speed. Stir in chives and remaining raw onions. Season to taste with salt. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with crackers such as Triscuits.
