Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow onions (2 quartered lengthwise, 2 finely chopped)
- 1 cup olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- Hot sauce, such as Tabasco, to taste
- 4 scallions, minced
- Cut raw vegetables, such as cucumber, carrot, and cauliflower, for serving
Preparation
Step 1
MAKES ABOUT 3 ½ CUPS
1. Heat oven to 425°. Toss quartered onions with 2 tbsp. oil on a foil-lined baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes; set roasted onions aside to cool.
2. Place roasted onions in a food processor and puree until smooth; add mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream, juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Heat remaining oil in a 10″ skillet over medium-high heat; add finely chopped onions, and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 16 minutes more. Transfer onions to a strainer set over a bowl to drain; discard oil or reserve for another use. Transfer fried onions to paper towels to drain; set aside.
4. To serve, stir 2/3 of the fried onions and the scallions into dip, and transfer to a serving bowl; top with remaining fried onions and serve with fresh vegetables.

Made it last weekend, the flavor is great and it´s not complicated to make, I couldn´t find yellow onions where I live so used white ones, next time I´ll try with purple onion to see how it goes.
