Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and helps caramelize the onions; olive oil can be a lighter substitute.
  • 340 g Onions This main flavor component provides sweetness; yellow onions work best.
  • 2 tsp Salt Enhances the overall flavors; can use sea salt or kosher salt.
  • 2 tsp Sugar Aids in the caramelization process for a deeper flavor profile.
  • 1/4 cup Dry White Wine Adds depth and deglazes the pan; vegetable broth is a non-alcoholic option.
For the Creamy Mixture
  • 225 g Cream Cheese The foundation for that creamy texture everyone loves.
  • 150 g Sour Cream Contributes tanginess and smoothness to this savory dip.
Optional Flavor Enhancers
  • Garlic Grated, optional; a delightful addition that elevates the taste.
  • Worcestershire Sauce or Soy Sauce Optional; brings in umami flavor, use vegetarian Worcestershire sauce if desired.
  • Fresh Parsley Minced, optional; adds a pop of color and freshness.

Equipment

  • Large pan

Method
 

How to Make Gordon Ramsay Caramelized Onion Dip
  1. In a large pan over low heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add thinly sliced onions, salt, and sugar to the pan. Cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are jammy and golden brown.
  3. Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce completely.
  4. Once caramelized, chop or snip the onions into smaller pieces for uniform blending.
  5. In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  6. Gently mix in the chopped onions, grated garlic (if using), Worcestershire or soy sauce, and minced parsley.
  7. Enjoy your dip warm or cold, served alongside crispy chips, fresh bread, or assorted veggies.
