Equipment

  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 immersion blender or small blender

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 2 large sweet white onions sliced
  • 1 500 gram container cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried tyme
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt or more to taste
  • chives to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 35–45 minutes, or until the onions are deeply golden brown and sweetly caramelized. Once the onions are nearly finished, season lightly with salt and pepper.
    *See Sammy's tips above for achieving perfectly caramelized onions.
    Set onions aside to cool while you prepare everything else.
  • Add the cottage cheese to a small blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer the creamy cottage cheese to a serving bowl.
  • Whisk the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise into the blended cottage cheese until fully combined and smooth.
  • Add the worcestershire sauce, balsamic glaze, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Add the caramelized onions and mix until everything is incorporated well.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Garnish with chives.
  • Enjoy with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
