Ingredients Needed:

2 Medium diced yellow onions (you can replace with white onions)
Garlic cloves (2 minced)
2 Tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
1 ½ cups light sour cream
Fresh chives (chopped)
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Fresh thyme leaves (swap with ¼ of dried thyme)
1 Teaspoon fine salt
½ Teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions:

Firstly, melt the butter over medium high heat in a large fry pan. Then add the onions and sauté for 25 minutes, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes or until the onions are soft, caramelized and golden brown.

Briefly sauté the minced garlic for a minute or two. Remove from the stove and transfer the onions to a medium bowl. Put the bowl in the fridge, let it chill for 15 minutes.
Remove a couple tablespoons of the onion mixture to use as a garnish. Add the sour cream, fresh chives, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then mix all ingredients to combine.

Top the onion dip with the caramelized onions you kept aside, drizzle some extra chives on top, if you like. Finally enjoy immediately or cover tightly with a plastic wrap and refrigerate.
