DAVID’S ONION DIP FROM SCRATCH
Absurdly simple… Three large sweet yellow onions, two medium red onions, two large shallots. Slice all of these medium thin, and caramelize slowly in a heavy skillet with three Tbsp olive oil, one teaspoon coarse salt and two teaspoons of fresh ground pepper… When the mix is translucent, add two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and five to six cloves of garlic (chopped fine)… When well caramelized, scoop the mixture into a bowl and hold while you render three or four slices of thick cut bacon (coarse chopped) until it is very crisp… Add the bacon bits to the onion mixture and mix well… Put three 8oz packages of your favorite cream cheese (softened) in to a large bowl or stand mixer, and mix with two pints of sour cream… Slowly add the onion and bacon mixture to the bowl and mix at slow speed until completely incorporated… Adjust with salt and pepper to taste… Chill thoroughly and serve with thick cut potato chips….
