Fresh Onion Dip

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. 2
   Chop the onion and spread the pieces on a cookie sheet or large pizza pan (it works best if the cookie sheet or pizza pan is completely flat without edges on the sides).
3. 3
   After the oven heats up to 400 F. wait about 10 minutes to make sure the oven is good and hot.
4. 4
   Then, turn off the oven and immediately put the onions inside the oven and close the oven door as quickly as possible.
5. 5
   Turn on the oven light and let the onions sit in the oven without opening the door for about 4 hours.
6. 6
   Then the onions should be dried and should come off the cooking sheet with a spatula.
7. 7
   The chopped fresh onion (1/2 of a whole onion) yields about 1/4 heaping cup of dried onion.
8. 8
   In a medium size bowl add the sour cream, dried onions and bouillon granules.
9. 9
   Stir all ingredients together, top with chopped chives, and serve right away or chilled.
