Ingredients

• 5 Tablespoons butter
• 4 cups yellow onion, chopped fine
• salt and pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ⅓ cup water
• 1½ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2½ cups sour cream
• chopped chives, for garnish (optional)

Directions

• In a large, 12-inch skillet over medium heat melt butter. Add onions, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add half the water to skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until water is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add remaining water and cook until onions are caramelized and water is evaporated, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Scrape onions to medium bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Add sour cream to onions and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Top with sliced chives and serve!
