Home made Dips

glo1967

There are some really good recipes on those threads, thanks for that, better stock up my cupboards a bit. Netto has a good offer on from today of 24 jars dried herbs & stand for £14.99, might have a look at that to stock up on herbs.
Other recipes I would like are for the cold pasta sauces that are used on the salad bar at Morrisons, any ideas....

Rather than put mine on the old threads (or would that be better?) here is it:

Heat 2 tbsp or so of oil (not olive) in a pan. Add a finely chopped onion and cook until soft. Add garlic, 1/2 tsp chilli, and 1 tsp each of cumin and coriander. Cook for a minute or so. Then add 4 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter, and mix in (slowly) 1/2 cup water. When it is all absorbed (and thick) and 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari (my favourite) or shoyu, and some lemon juice. Taste it to see if you need more soy/sort of soy, and then leave to cool. Serve with raw veg, otherwise known as crudites.

Just in case you're interested I was recently on a very strict diet and could only eat meat and salad. I really missed dressing but couldn't have anything with extra fat in it. Here is my fat free dressing:

Lemon juice
red wine vinegar
mustard
black pepper
worcester sauce
garlic
chilli

Put in a pot with a lid and shake. - surprisingly tasty!

mine is:

yog mint dip

greek yog
mint sauce from a jar
sugar
chilli powder

mix up all together (amounts depend on your taste) is lovely better than what you get from the indian resturants!!! x

Here are some I googled. I just sent DH to the co-op to get some packet ones. Shhhh!

Merry Christmas!

I should add that DH saw the title of this thread and thought 'DIPS' was some kind of acronym for a disease or illness of some sort. LOL

hi demented

guacamole: in a blender put insides of advacados, some red onion chopped, about half a tsp of chilli powder and the juice of a lime, but don't worry if no lime, it will still be ok, just blitz it and voila guacamole:j

Sounds like Nigella's roquemole -just mash avocado and cheese together
