The slightly bitter flavour of burnt onion works wonderfully added to classic soured cream and chive dip. Serve with crunchy crudités for an easy drinks party snack or as a sauce for cooked meat or fish.
Ingredients
- 1 banana shallot
- 1 small leek
- 3 spring onions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250ml soured cream
- ½ crushed garlic clove
- the juice of ½ lemon
- a handful of freshly chopped chives
Method
- Heat the grill to high. Thinly slice the banana shallot, leek and spring onions, then toss in olive oil and spread evenly on a baking tray lined with foil. Grill for 15-17 minutes, tossing once, until almost completely blackened. Allow to cool, then roughly chop and mix together with the soured cream, crushed garlic, lemon juice chopped chives. Season, then serve.

Makes a great dip for bread or crudités, or a sauce to dollop over grilled pork, chicken or fish. Stir with shredded chicken and mild curry powder, then top with chopped fresh parsley as
a fresh take on coronation chicken. It’s also great with roasted Mediterranean vegetables and couscous.
