Dip Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 150ml soured cream
- 50g mayonnaise
To Serve
- Raw vegetables (such as carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, bell peppers)
Instructions
- Prepare the onion: Slice the onion thinly and toss the slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Char the onion: Spread the oiled onion slices evenly over a baking tray. Place the tray under a preheated grill on high heat and cook for 6-8 minutes until the onions are nicely charred and blackened on the edges, stirring once if needed for even charring. Remove and allow to cool completely.
- Mix the dip: Once cooled, chop the charred onions roughly, then combine them in a bowl with 150ml soured cream and 50g mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Season and chill: Season the dip to taste with salt and pepper, then cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Serve the burnt onion dip alongside fresh raw vegetables for dipping as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For even more depth of flavor, you can use a cast iron pan on the stove to char the onions if you prefer not to use the grill.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise or soured cream to achieve your desired creaminess.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use a mix of colorful raw vegetables to make the serving platter more appealing.
- If you like a little tang, add a splash of lemon juice to the dip before chilling.
