CHARRED SCALLION DIP WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Charred Scallion Dip With Lemon and Herbs image

This creamy scallion dip could be the cooler cousin of ranch dressing or sour cream and onion dip. Grilled scallions add smokiness, while fresh chives and raw scallions lend brightness to the tangy, herb-flecked dip. If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can broil the scallions in your oven. Once assembled, the dip benefits from chilling to round out the flavors. At least an hour works, but it's better after a day. It needs nothing more than potato chips alongside, but it's also great with crudités, crackers, grilled vegetables, fried chicken or slathered on sandwiches.

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 scallions, roots and tops trimmed
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or a grill pan over high.
  • As pan heats up, prepare the scallion-herb mixture: Halve 2 scallions lengthwise, then slice very thinly crosswise. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in chives and dill, if using. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • On a baking sheet, toss remaining 10 scallions with the canola oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Working in batches if necessary, grill the scallions over high heat, turning occasionally, until deeply grill-marked and slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • While the scallions cool, add the sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, onion and garlic powders, and sugar to the medium bowl with the scallion-herb mixture.
  • Thinly slice the grilled scallions, then add to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or ideally 1 day. (The flavor will deepen as it sits.) To serve, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with potato chips for dipping.

LEMONY WHIPPED FETA WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS



Lemony Whipped Feta With Charred Scallions image

A spin in the food processor and a little olive oil and cream cheese take feta from crumbly and coarse to airy and spreadable. Whipped feta is wonderful on its own, but for a smoky sweetness that makes it special, flavor the dip with scallions that have been blackened in the oven. Serve with pita chips or buttery crackers, and if you're an overachiever, top the dip with charred cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of honey.

Categories     snack, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield About 6 to 8 servings (About 2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lemons, plus more to taste
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and halved crosswise
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
10 ounces feta cheese, broken into large pieces (about 2 1/2 to 3 cups)
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature, or heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon hot water

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler and line a sheet pan with foil. Juice 1 whole lemon to get 3 tablespoons juice and set aside. Cut the remaining 1/2 lemon into 3 to 4 thin slices.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the lemon slices, scallions and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place on sheet pan and broil until blackened, tossing occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes for the scallions and about another 5 minutes for the lemon slices. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly.
  • In a food processor, add the feta, cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, reserved lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne and hot water. Purée until very smooth, then add almost all of the scallions (save 1 or 2 pieces and chop roughly for a garnish). Pulse to combine, leaving some chunky scallion pieces. Taste for lemon, adjusting as needed.
  • Transfer to a bowl, then garnish with charred lemon slices, the reserved scallion, black pepper and a pinch of cayenne.

CHEDDAR SCALLION DIP RECIPE



Cheddar Scallion Dip Recipe image

Provided by SFCook

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature), cubed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
Black pepper, to taste (optional)
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, as needed
1/2 cup sharp Cheddar, finely grated
1 small garlic clove, mashed to a paste (optional)
Hot sauce to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • PREPARATION Place the cream cheese, mayonnaise, scallion, salt, pepper (if using) and paprika in a bowl and mix and mash well with a fork or spatula until smooth. Mix in orange juice until smooth, and then mix in the Cheddar. If the dip seems too thick, add a little more juice. Taste for seasoning. You can also mix in a food processor if you like. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016781-cheddar-scallion-dip

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh cheddar cheese, scallions, and sour cream will give your dip the best flavor.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can alter the flavor and texture of your dip.
  • Don't overmix the dip. Overmixing can make the dip too thick and pasty. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dip before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the dip easier to spread.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Crackers, chips, and vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

Cheddar scallion dip is a classic party food that is always a hit. It is easy to make, delicious, and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
