Deviled Vidalia Dip

Rice and Gravy
Buttermilk Chive Biscuits



With the temperatures teasing us ever so slightly in Northern Illinois, I thought this menu would help jump start the warmth and maybe even get a few leaves to burst out of the buds now appearing on the trees.  Hey, it's worth a shot and the byproduct of this endeavor is some great food.  

The starter to this dinner is a deviled vidalia onion dip.  A few crackers or toasts topped with this spread will get the mind in the mood for some stick-to-your-ribs Southern fare.  There is a lot of flavor going on here, so splash a little Tabasco on it to bring out all of those great flavors listed in the recipe.

Deviled Vidalia Dip
makes about 2 1/2 cups

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce or to taste

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.  Add the onions and garlic and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour or until caramelized.  (Do not rush the caramelization by turning up the heat; you risk burning the onions.)

Add the vinegar and cook until it evaporates, about 1 minute.  Remove the skillet from the heat and add the remaining ingredients.  Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.  Garnish with chives and serve warm or at room temperature.  Enjoy!
