Caramelized Onion Dip

Directions

1. Slice the onions and shallots. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

2. Once the olive oil shimmers, add the onions and shallots. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Give it a quick stir to combine everything and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally.
3. Chop the garlic and add to the pan.
4. Stirring occasionally, let everything cook for about 30 minutes until the onions have browned. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan as you stir.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir again.
6. Let the vegetable stock reduce fully and continue cooking until the onions are completely caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
7. In the bowl of a food processor, add the cottage cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder.
8. Pulse until the cottage cheese is totally smooth.
9. Add the onions to the food processor and season with another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, then garnish with fresh chives. Serve immediately with your favorite chips or crackers.
