Easy Apple And Onion Dip
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 red onions, peeled and sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, finely diced
- Salt and black pepper for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon French onion soup powder mix
- 300g/10.6ozs sour cream or half sour cream and half natural yogurt
- Crackers or thinly sliced bread croutons to serve
Step 1 - Heat a frypan on medium heat and add the oil. Add the onions to the pan and cook on low to medium heat, sweating them down until they are soft. You don't have to stir them constantly, every 5 minutes or so just turn them over. It will take about 30 minutes to get them sweet and soft.
Step 2 - Add the chopped apple to the soft onion mixture and stir and soften this for about 5-8 minutes until the apple is cooked. Season with salt and pepper and allow to cool. You can make it up to this step up to 3 days ahead of time, storing it in an airtight container in the fridge once cool.
Step 3 - Mix the sour cream and/or yogurt if using with the apple and onion mixture. Add the French onion soup mixture to it and stir to taste. Serve with thinly sliced bread croutons or crackers.
