Forget about your aunt’s onion dip made from one of those pre-made packages from the grocery store! This recipe’s really easy to make & tastes much better! Your aunt might even want to have you give her this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 lbs. organic shallots, thinly sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh organic thyme or 1/2 tsp. dried organic thyme

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over moderately high heat.
2. Add the shallots & stir in the thyme.
3. Reduce the heat to low and cook them while stirring occasionally until the shallots are brown and crisp. About 30 minutes.
4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to paper towels to drain. Discard the thyme.
5. In a medium bowl, mash together the cream cheese & sour cream with a wooden spoon. Then stir in the shallots, salt & pepper (to taste).
