Dips and Spreads Recipe ∞ Green Garlic Dip

If you are fortunate (as I am) to have a grocer who carries green garlic, you might want to try this dip which I whupped up. This goes great with artichokes.

Ingredients

• 3 green garlic (garlic scapes), cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry
• lemon, juiced
• ½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup sour cream
• salt and black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place the green garlic, cilantro, olive oil, sherry, lemon juice, and jalapeno pepper into a blender or food processor. Blend until pureed. Scrape into a bowl, and mix in the sour cream until evenly blended. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate before serving.
