My daughter came across this recipe a few years ago, and I have adapted it to our family's tastes, writes Janet Joecks of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.
Ingredients:
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup sliced green onions
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
additional sliced green onions
breadsticks and sweet red and yellow pepper strips
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, saute onion in oil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 8 minutes or until onion begins to turn golden brown. Add the green onions, salt, pepper and cayenne. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in onion mixture. Garnish with additional green onions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with breadsticks and peppers. Yield: about 2 cups.
