Recipe ideas guys?

Question

I'm planning a lazy weekend with just me, my TV and a few snacks for company and I need a few ideas from you guys. My favourite snack is some kind of crispy thing and a good dip to go with it but I've tried the shop bought dips and they're not all that good. Does anybody have a recipe for a really good homemade dip I could try out, it doesn't even have to be a proper recipe maybe just something you stumbled on by accident? I usuall sit with some Pringles and a bottle of salad cream if I'm being really laz but I thought I try something different this time.
I'll leave the question on all week and try any ideas I get out at the weekend then choose my favourite, thanks :)

Wow! I'm hungry already and still got four days to go to the weekend!! Great ideas guys - THANKS!! Keep up the good work :)

Answer 1

I stir a package of onion soup mix into a container of sour cream. Easy & Fast

Answer 2

Creamy dip


Ingredients
5 slices smoked bacon, slowly cooked, crumbled
1 stick salted butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Small jar high quality chutney (not major grays)
3 green onions, sliced all the way to the top

Directions
Prepare bacon
Mix butter, cream cheese, and cheddar in a medium size bowl w/ a sturdy wooden spoon. Once mixed, press this into the bottom of an 8x8 serving dish
Spread the chutney over the top of the cheese
Scatter bacon and green onions on the top
You can chill this about 30 minutes but I've served it right up


This is good, for something a little different.

Answer 3

Cream cheese with chopped shallot, herbs and chili flakes.

Aubergine put on a BBQ ( under a grill or on any open fire)until it's soft. Wait for it to cool and take the skin off and put into a bowl add juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper, 1 crushed clove of garlic and mix. The final ingredient, Tahini. Add the tahini (probably 3-4 tbsp) to your taste, and mix.

It's better left in the fridge for a couple of hours and always great the next couple of days.

PS I add some parsley to counteract the garlic a little.

Answer 4

My FAVORITE treat when I have a TV weekend planned for all myself and me is:
Hot Artichoke Dip
2 cans artichoke hearts, chopped
1 cup manyonnaise
1/2 cup Paremsan cheese
1 small can Ortega peppers, finely diced

Heat oven to 350 degrees F
Mix ingredients together in a baking dish
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until hot and "bubbly". Do not let it burn!
Eat with crispy crackers.
Goes really well with a dry white wine, followed by a meal of leftovers, scrambled eggs, and any cookies found in the house!

Answer 5

There are two, I really like, french onion soup, (the powdered variety) mix in some sour cream and that's it! Or tin of chopped toms, get the better ones, after all, (you only get what you pay for!) whizz 'em up and add some good chilli sauce keep tasting, don't put too much at once, great with nachos And no cooking!!.

Have a great weekend

Answer 7

Get a couple of ripe avocados, a small ripe tomato, one jalapeno pepper, and onion. Mash the avocado, dice 1/2 of the tomato and a couple of tbls of diced onion. Carefully dice the pepper, use gloves or hold with plastic wrap, don't get the juice of the pepper on your hands. Now wash your hands with soap and water. Mix all of this together with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This is real guacamole. If you want something simpler, get a carton of sour cream and add dry onion soup to it, mix well and let sit in fridge a few hours. Enjoy your day.

Answer 11

Spicy Peanut Satay Dip.


2 tbsps of crunchy peanut butter.
2 tbsps of soy sauce
2 tbsps of honey
2 tbsps of lemon / lime juice.
2 cloves of garlic (grated)
i teaspoon of finely chopped red chilli
1 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsps of peanut oil.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together till it reaches dipping consistency.
Taste and adjust ingredients if necessary, ie if its too sweet add move lime juice, if its too mild
add more chilli. Ideally the sauce should be a balance of sweet, sour, spicy and savoury.

If the dip seems too thick, add move peanut oil or a small drop of water to loosen it.



Tasty cucumber dip.


I pot of Greek yogurt
4 / 5 handfuls of chopped cucumber
2 large handfuls of chopped fresh mint
2 cloves of garlic crushed or grated
salt
pepper

Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine.

Dont be stingy with the seasoning as you want this to be tasty and not bland. If you
cant get fresh mint, then fresh coriander would work well either, however i would not
use dried as the recipe really calls for that savoury hit you can only get from fresh herbs.
