dippity two


Like I mentioned earlier, I am all about dips in the summer months.  Here is another delicious one. It's a new twist on the standard sour cream chip dip.  The bite of the cheese, combined with lemon and pepper, give it a fresh zing.  The only trouble is, you're gonna want to eat too much of this stuff.

Lemon, Pepper, and Pecorino Dip

Mix together 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup grated pecorino, the finely grated zest of one lemon.  Salt to taste and lots of fresly grated pepper. Serve with ridged potato chips, or if you're trying to be extra good, like me, it's wonderful with veggies.

  7. Torture! I'll save this for next time we have someone over. I'm trying to be good. I've lost about 5 lbs, and I'm not going to make dip add them right back on. Determined!

    Well, of course, one could forgive such a development during the hot weather.

  24. I used to dip my salt and vinegar potato crisps (chips) into my pint of beer - but I am glad to say that I outgrew the habit.

  26. Nice!
    Got one for you to try!
    1 Grated cucumber,2 cloves of crushed garlic and mix that into a cup of Greek yoghurt. Once you've got that sorted dust it with Paprika!
    Goes really well with Pumpkin chips too!...Cheers mate!

  27. did you ever see the movie staring Cher in which the character never cooks, only does dips and snacks for meals. I think it might be "Moonstruck."

    ReplyDelete

  29. Suki, I haven't seen Moonstruck in years. I'm adding it to my queue right now...
