Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon avocado oil 

1 large sweet white onion, thinly sliced 

½ teaspoon salt 

1 cup 2% cottage cheese 

½ cup cream cheese

½ cup sour cream 

2 tablespoons Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp (see note)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt, to taste 

Green onion or chives, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

In a pan over medium-low heat, add the oil and thinly sliced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is slightly softened and translucent. Add the salt, and cook for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour over low heat, stirring often, until the onion is caramelized and dark in colour. 

Add the caramelized onion, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream to a food processor. Pulse until just combined, then add the chili crisp, garlic powder, and onion powder. Process until completely smooth. Season with salt to taste. 

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and top with sliced green onion and more chili crisp. Serve with fresh keto-friendly vegetables. For a non-keto option, serve with chips of choice. 

Note: 2 tablespoons of chili crisp has a medium spice level. Use 1 tablespoon for a mild dip.
