Caramelized Two Onion Dip with Nigella Seeds

Created in the spirit of a 70’s style dried onion dip mix, this fresh and savory dip gives that old standard of yesteryear a run for its money. Fresh chives may also be added for color, if you desire.

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup finely diced sweet yellow onion
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 green onions, trimmed, sliced thinly
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Nigella seed
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1. Heat a medium sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and then the onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are sweet, caramelized and just barely moist. Turn out onto a plate to cool.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the cooled onions with the remaining ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
