I wanted to make something approachable that people could share in a party setting over a glass of Krug. Something to look forward to as when we are able to get together again. The strong onion caramelized flavor and sweetness of the mascarpone plays off of the acidity and brightness of Krug, giving you the option to use the dip for chips, vegetables or whatever you would like.

INGREDIENTS
3 yellow onions
1 bottle champagne
2tbsp (30g) butter
200g mascarpone
230g creme fraiche
30g shallot, finely chopped
12g chive, finely sliced
26g lemon juice
8g fish sauce
18g salt
RECIPE DEVELOPMENT
Step 1
Dice the three yellow onions in preparation to caramelize them. Place the butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and stir frequently until they begin to get some color. Once they start to caramelize, deglaze with some champagne to help soften them and add some sweet champagne flavor. Reduce, let the onions caramelize more and repeat until the onions are well caramelized and dark brown.
Step 2
Mix the onions with all of the other ingredients and serve warm or chilled.
