Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Add the butter, and oil to a pan, over medium heat.
When the foaming subsides, give the pan a swirl, and add the onions.
Season with some salt and pepper.
Cook until the onions begin to turn brown, about 8 - 10 minutes.
Chef's Note: Stir occasionally, and make sure that they do not burn.
Reduce heat to low, and continue to cook until the onions begin to caramelize, about 20 - 30 minutes.
Chef's Note: Do not turn up the heat, just let them slowly caramelize, and get nice and yummy.
Remove the onions from the pan, and add to a blender, and blend on high speed until pureed.
Add to a bowl with the remainder of the ingredients, and blend together.
Chef's Note: Taste and season with a bit of salt and pepper, if needed.
PLATE/PRESENT
Sprinkle with chopped dill, and serve with your favorite dipping items. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
