Instructions
Heat a medium to large saucepan on medium heat, add oil and then add onions. Add 1 teaspoon salt and stir. Once onions soften, turn heat to low and continue to stir every 5 minutes or so until the onions get a deep rich brown. Add in thyme about 10 minute before onions are done. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed to keep them from sticking too much to the pan. Once onions are deeply caramelized, push them to the side of the pan and add wine if using to deglaze the pan, stirring to get the onion bits off the bottom. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, stir together sour cream, cheese, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper to taste.
Once onions have cooled enough to be able to touch them, stir them into the dip mixture. Add additional salt if required, stir well and refrigerate until ready to use. Ideally at least one hour.
To serve, spoon dip into bowl and top with a sprinkle of paprika and chives. Serve with raw veggies, rice crackers or the classic potato chips.
