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.

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.
