July 8, 2017
INGREDIENTS
5 Tablespoons butter
4 cups yellow onion, chopped fine
salt and pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅓ cup water
1½ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2½ cups sour cream
chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large, 12-inch skillet over medium heat melt butter. Add onions, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
- Add half the water to skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until water is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add remaining water and cook until onions are caramelized and water is evaporated, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Scrape onions to medium bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Add sour cream to onions and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Top with sliced chives and serve!
