Please may I have the hot brocolli dip recipe, it sounds great :rotfl:

Not brocolli, but crab dip - yummy:

Baked crab dip with cream cheese and spring onions.

Mix together: 8 oz cream cheese, 1 tin (6 oz) crab meat (well-drained), 2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions (save the greens for garnish), approx. 1/2 teaspoon salt, good grinding of black pepper, 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcester sauce.

Pop into oven-proof dish and bake at medium oven (180 C / 375 F) for about 15-20 min. Before dipping in, sprinkle top with paprika and garnish with spring onion greens.

I'm so like Susan it's scary. No doubt about that one; even when I was teaching one of the kids said that! (she'd had been reading HogFather) I've just finished the new book but I wish he'd write a bit quicker :rotfl: :rotfl:

How was the latest TP?

Good - it's sort of a follow on from "going postal" so it has it's moments!

Spinach dip - 1 packet frozen spinach, defrosted , squeezed dry and chopped. stir into 1 packet creamcheese, 1 container (287ml) of yogurt/soured cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper, chopped fresh parsley, and if you want some crunch, finely chopped water chestnuts - or you can bung this all into a food processor and it will chop the spinach and waterchestnuts for you. Good served in a round loaf of bread, with the chunks to dip in and tons of veg.

Hiya

A couple of people have asked me for the Hot Broccoli dip recipe, so here it is:

Ingredients:
350g broccoli florets, chopped (I put mine in the food processor)
1 small onion, chopped (FP again)
1 red pepper, seeded & chopped (FP)
55g parmesan cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic, pressed
225g cheddar cheese, grated
8 tbspns half fat creme fraiche
8 tbspns low fat mayonnaise
Freshly ground pepper

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 190 oc
2. Chuck in all ingredients but only 4 tbspns of the parmesan (keep the rest for sprinkling once cooked), and mix well
3. Put in oven for 25-30 mins or until heated through
4. Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining parmesan
5. Munch with Pitta chips

Ooh, this is making me feel hungry.

To make the pitta chips (optional, but IMHO absolutely essential), cut wholemeal pitta bread into large triangles, lay them on a baking tray and cook for 8-10 mins on 200 oc.

This is absolutely delicious! I tried it at a party I went to and have never looked back - I make it loads as I love cheese and garlic.

Can I recommend spicy bean dip - its really easy. Tin of refried beans, chopped red onion, few jalapenos chopped up, tbsp of fajita spice mix, coriander and juice of a lime - its lovely.
