Super Umami Onion Dip

Step 1

Cut the onions in half, and then slice them into 1/8-inch-thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.)

Step 2

Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, mushroom powder, salt, and pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes, until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.

Step 3

Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well.

Step 4

Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
