Directions
☑ Before Getting Started
Use a Large Pan to give the onions ample space for caramelization and heat retention.
Step 1 Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet and adding the chopped onions. Let them sizzle on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Step 2 Next, sprinkle a touch of salt, introduce the butter, and lower the heat. Allow the onions to caramelize over the next 15 minutes, stirring occasionally for that perfect golden hue.
Step 3 Afterward, incorporate the diced garlic, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 4 Transfer the contents to a mixing bowl and place it in the freezer for a quick 5-minute cool-down to room temperature.
📄 Mixing Bowl Note
Choose a Heat-Resistant Bowl to prevent cracking from temperature changes.
Step 5 Finally, combine this flavorful onion and garlic mixture with sour cream, mayo, and finely chopped green scallions.
