What it is
This is a rich and savory dip made with slow-cooked caramelized onions. The onions are cooked until they are deeply browned and sweet, which forms the base flavor of the dip. It is typically blended with creamy ingredients to create a smooth texture. The result is a complex flavor profile that balances sweetness with a hint of onion pungency. This dip is ready to serve straight from the container.
