Description

This Charred Scallion and Chili Crisp Dip combines smoky, spicy, and creamy flavors to create a vibrant and addictive appetizer or condiment. Fresh scallions are blistered in a hot skillet to unlock their sweet and smoky essence, then mixed with chili crisp, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and seasonings for a perfectly balanced dip that adds excitement to any snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Scallions

  • 6-8 fresh scallions, trimmed

Dip Base

  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Add-ins

  • 3-4 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Char the scallions: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place the trimmed scallions directly onto the pan and cook until dark, blistered spots form and the scallions soften, about 3-5 minutes per side. This process unlocks their sweet, smoky flavor essential for the dip.
  2. Prepare the aromatics: Once the scallions have cooled, finely chop them. Mince the garlic clove thoroughly to ensure it blends evenly, releasing its aromatic intensity.
  3. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt with fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. This creamy base balances and complements the bold flavors to come.
  4. Combine all ingredients: Add the chopped scallions, minced garlic, and generous spoonfuls of chili crisp to the bowl. Gently fold everything together until the mixture is thoroughly combined, the dip takes on a vibrant color, and the aroma of spice fills the air.
  5. Adjust and chill: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, lime juice, or chili crisp quantity as desired to reach your preferred level of spice and flavor. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • The quantity of chili crisp can be adjusted to control the heat level.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier, lighter option.
  • Charring the scallions thoroughly is key to developing that signature smoky flavor.
  • Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
  • This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
