This simple chip dip is rich in roasted red onion flavour. Creamy with the tang of mustard and gherkin. Grab your favourite thick-style kettle-cooked chips and dip away.
This is a hearty, flavour-packed chip dip. Bold flavours of roasted red onion, gherkins and green olives. A perfect dip to serve with drinks at a lazy barbecue. Especially with steaks sizzling away on the grill.
Oven-roast the red onions and make the dip the day before. It will appreciate the settling in the fridge to get those flavours to meld. This is simple and tasty entertaining at its best.
After more than one homemade dip? Why not also serve up smoked salmon dip or everything bagel dip?
