The Dipping Series

 

This dip is a little bit hatke. I’ve been a fan of the loaded baked potato (who isn’t?), but I am always wary of making it – after all it is just carbs, and I would choose countless other options!

But sweet potato is one of those feel-good carbs, because it’s a complex carb, with better nutrition and a more forgiving status than the unfortunate regular potato. This recipe kept adding to itself as I made it. I roasted the sweet potato cubes and whizzed them up with some soaked cashews for a creamy effect with olive oil, paprika and red chilli flakes. But I wanted to highlight the sweetness of the sweet potato, so I added some honey. And then I craved some texture and colour, so I added spring onions, garnished with paprika and toasted sesame seeds. This works amazing as a dip for crackers, lavash and toasted breads, and especially the assortment of the lavash and crackers by Le Artisan Boulangerie.

This salsa is a beautiful gorgeous red hued one - almost too pretty to eat! i scoop up loads of it with chips, add to cheese toast, into rice dishes, on the side to eggs - the choices are endless!

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?

French Onion Dip

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!
