Jalapeno Popper Dip

apeno · cheese · jalapeno popper dip · Mexican dip

This is the ultimate party dip for your friends, and for me, on a quiet night with a loaf of bread and a few glasses of chardonnay. This recipe comes from leftover jalapenos lying in my fridge from the spicy pepper relish recipe so some good use was in order. Using sour cream in this recipe helps in keeping it light and essential is the extra cheeses on top to ensure a hot bubbling dip to fall in love with!

8 jalapenos – deseeded and diced

100 g sour cream

100 g cream cheese

75 g mozzarella cheese, grated

20 g cheddar cheese or smoked hard cheese, grated

1 tbsp minced garlic

2 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

Fig Jam

Fig jam for me is a very gourmet, fancy sorta condiment – it even sounds like the jam came from the Ritz Carlton! But fig jam is so very versatile in flavor complementing that it is sort of a necessary condiment I keep at all times in my fridge. This is also a great way to use up older aged dried figs that have become hard and unenjoyable to eat. So where all do I use it? In grilled cheese sandwiches with a touch of truffle oil, thyme and sometimes chilies. With vanilla bean ice cream. On crackers with a slice of sharp cheddar or grana Padano. With peanut butter to be spread of apple slices and topped with toasted nuts. To spread between two butter biscuits. To make fig newtons. Add on to a cheese plate. Need I say more?
