Equipment

1 skillet
1 bowl
1 spatula

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 shallots peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons thinly chopped chives
Chips for serving

Instructions

In a medium saute pan or skillet, set over medium low heat, add the olive oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add in the shallots and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes. This will sweat a lot of the water out of the pan. Uncover and stir continuously until caramelized, an additional 10 minutes or so.
Fold in the garlic and cook for an additional minute or so. Transfer to a medium bowl and allow to cool.
In the medium bowl with the shallots, add the Greek yogurt, a few rounds of black pepper, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and give it a thorough mix. Mix until combined. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with tons of chives on top. Serve with chips.
