Ingredients
- 2 cups Cottage cheese
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into even slices.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to sizzle.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, along with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar, to enhance caramelization.
Step 4
Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize fully. This should take about 25 minutes. Lower the heat if they begin to stick or brown too quickly.
Step 5
Once the onions are golden brown and caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a food processor or blender, add 2 cups of cottage cheese and blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the blended cottage cheese into a mixing bowl.
Step 8
Fold in the cooled caramelized onions, garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 10
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 11
Serve with fresh vegetable sticks, crackers, or chips for dipping, and enjoy!
