Charred Scallion Fancy Dip with Caviar (AKA Fancy Sour Cream and Onion Dip)

Recipe by Julia Heffelfinger

 

INGREDIENTS
  • 30 grams Island Creek White Sturgeon caviar
  • 1 bunch scallions (about 5 scallions)
  • 7 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 Tbs finely chopped parsley
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest, plus 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
  • 1½ cups labneh, full-fat Greek yogurt, or sour cream
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Potato chips, for dipping

 

PROCESS
  1. Preheat the broiler to HIGH and position a rack 2 inches from the heat. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the scallions with 1 Tbs of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.Broil the scallions, turning occasionally, until they’re tender and charred, 2 to 3minutes. Let cool completely, then finely chop.

  2. 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.

  3. Smear the labneh in the bottom of a shallow bowl, creating a well in the middle with the back ofyour spoon. Drizzle the scallion oil over the labneh and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

  4. Spoon the caviar into the well in the middle of the dip. Serve with potato chips for dipping
