Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 large sweet white onions, chopped
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons beef base
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Chives for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature and gently melt the butter until it shimmers with golden potential.
- Introduce chopped onions to the pan, reducing heat to a gentle simmer, allowing them to soften and transform slowly.
- Carefully season the onions with salt and pepper, stirring periodically to ensure even caramelization, which will require approximately 30-35 minutes of patient cooking.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine vinegar, letting the liquid integrate and intensify the onions’ rich, complex flavor profile.
- While onions develop their deep amber tones, prepare the creamy base by combining cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, beef base, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and additional seasoning in a blender.
- Pulse the mixture until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency that promises luxurious texture.
- Gently fold the caramelized onions and freshly chopped parsley into the creamy mixture, creating beautiful flavor swirls throughout the dip.
- Transfer to a serving vessel, garnish with delicate chive snippets, and either present immediately or chill to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
Notes
- Caramelize onions slowly to develop deep, rich flavor without burning, ensuring they turn golden brown and sweet.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese for maximum creaminess and protein boost, creating a luxurious texture.
- Adjust seasoning gradually, tasting as you blend to balance the tangy, savory, and sweet elements perfectly.
- Make ahead and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and intensify, creating a more complex dip.
