Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 lb. sunchokes, scrubbed clean, peeled, and roughly chopped
  • 3 large sweet onions, roughly chopped
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 tsp. onion powder

Instructions

Step 1

In a 10-inch skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium. Add the sunchokes and onions and season with salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
