Garlic And Onion Dip Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the thyme, shallots, garlic and all the varieties of onions. Saute, stirring constantly. (Onions absorb oil quickly, so add more if necessary.) Continue to cook until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
• In a medium bowl, add the yogurt and cream cheese and stir together. Add in the onions, scallions and chives. Stir well to combine.

Steps:

• Stir sourcream, mayo and sugar in a bowl.
• Add remaining spices, stir till well combined.
• Adjust seasoning to taste.

Steps:

• Cook onion and garlic on medium heat for 1 minute in olive oil in a Saute pan. Add onion and garlic mixture to large bowl and add mayo, sour cream, parsley, pepper, and salt. Eat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub eggplant and onion with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake about 25-30 minutes, until the eggplant and onion have softened, turning once.
• Add the garlic to the baking sheet at the baking halfway point, approximately 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and cool until able to handle.
• Peel the eggplant and garlic and place into food processor (easiest way to get the eggplant is to cut in half and scoop it out with a spoon).
• Cut the onion into quarters or large chunks and add to the food processor.
• Add vinegar, lemon juice, parmesan, salt and pepper.
• Pulse until it is of a dip or spread consistency.
• Add cilantro and briefly pulse.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Cut the top ⅓ off the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and put in a foil packet. Bake at 350F 45 minutes (or until the cloves are nice and soft). Set aside, and allow to cool; then squeeze each clove to remove the deliciously roasted garlic. It's so sweet! Mash the cloves with a fork. Dice the onion. In a saute pan over medium heat add olive oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. For the dip: In a bowl, add the sour cream and mayonnaise. Add the roasted garlic, onion and seasonings. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your own preference. NOTE: Originally, I sliced the onion very thin (rather than dicing them). I didn't like how the onion became one stringy clump at the end-- next time, I'd definitely dice the onions so they are more evenly distributed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place garlic and onion, cut side down, on small baking sheet. Brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake until onion is tender and garlic is golden and tender, turning over halfway through baking, about 30 minutes. Cool.
• Char red bell pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Wrap in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes to steam. Peel and seed pepper. Chop coarsely.
• Squeeze garlic from skin. Cut each onion half into quarters. Place garlic, onion, red bell pepper and next 4 ingredients in processor and blend well. Transfer to small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Preheat broiler. Place baguette slices on baking sheet. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir dip and serve with toasted baguette slices.
