Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Optional Variations
- Fresh herbs (dill or parsley) for herb infusion
- Chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper for spicy kick
- Grated Parmesan or feta cheese for cheesy delight
- Finely chopped bell peppers or cucumbers for vegetable boost
- Dairy-free yogurt alternative for vegan adaptation
Instructions
- Prepare the Shallots: Begin by thinly slicing the shallots. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the shallots. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a smooth and creamy base for your dip.
- Combine and Serve: Add the crispy shallots to the yogurt mixture and gently fold them in. Reserve a few crispy shallots for garnishing later. Transfer the dip to your serving bowl and top with the reserved shallots for that perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying shallots.
- Let the dip chill for at least an hour before serving for the best flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens for an elegant presentation.
