This is one of those recipes that have a permanent spot on my party table – so easy to make, and best of all – to be made in advanced. I often caramelize a larger batch of onions beforehand to add to omelet, grilled cheese toasts, and so on – then add into the Greek yogurt mix a day before the event for the flavours to really develop!

INSTRUCTIONS

1 In a pan warm the olive oil and butter and sauté the onions with salt on low heat

2 Once they become translucent add all other seasonings and sauté

3 Once they have cooked through well, add the splash of white wine vinegar and sauté to caramelize further

4 Switch off the heat and allow to cool down

5 In another bowl stir together Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, olive oil and chives

6 Stir in the caramelized onions well

7 Set covered in the fridge

8 Serve cold

Whipped Babaganoush

Eggplant dips are what I absolutely adore on a grazing platter. Growing up in the middle east as a vegetarian, this vegetable really took centerstage in many meals. Authentic babaganoush has more chunkier pieces of the eggplant, whereas mutabal is smoother. This one is a whipped concoction which makes it even smoother, and the addition of chili vinegar really brings in a zing! This one is adapted from Samin Nosrat’s cookbook, Good Things.

Pickle Dip

This pickle dip is inspired from a classic southern recipe with pickled dills to make a tangy multi-functional dip. Normally there are fried breadcrumbs on top, but I put fried onions because why not?
