Recipe by Julia Heffelfinger
Ingredients
- 1 bunch scallions (about 5 scallions)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 7 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, plus 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
- 1½ cups labneh, full-fat Greek yogurt, or sour cream
- Island Creek Oysters white sturgeon caviar
- Kettle potato chips, for dipping
Process
- Preheat the broiler to HIGH and position a rack 2 inches from the heat. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the scallions with 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil the scallions, turning occasionally, until they’re tender and charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool completely, then finely chop.
- In a small bowl, whisk the charred scallions with the parsley, shallot, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 6 tablespoons (about ⅓ cup) of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if needed.
- Smear the labneh in the bottom of a shallow bowl, creating a well in the middle with the back of your spoon. Drizzle the scallion oil over the labneh and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Spoon the caviar into the well in the middle of the dip. Serve with potato chips for dipping.
