Ingredients
1/4 cup oil (canola or other neutral oil)
1 large onion (sweet Vidalia is my favorite), minced, about 2.5 cups
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cup sour cream
1 lemon, juiced or 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: 1 Tablespoon of dehydrated onion or 1 teaspoon of onion powder
Instructions
- Finely chop the onions so that they are minced
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until warm
- Saute the onions with the salt and sugar over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes so that they brown nicely but do not burn
- Chop the garlic
- Saute the garlic with the onions for another 2 minutes so the onions are brown and the garlic is soft and not burnt
- Strain off excess oil (let cool and save the oil in your fridge in an airtight container to use the next time you are sauteing vegetables or chicken).
- Stir, in a medium mixing bowl stir the onions and garlic into the sour cream and lemon juice. Mix in a little onion powder or dehydrated onion if desired
- Cover and store overnight in the fridge so the flavors can meld and develop
