I know I have mentioned before how we have some great groups of friends here in Belgium, and today I am going to talk about some more...
There is another couple of Turks here who are about the same age as us, and are expecting their first baby. We have been come very good friends with them, although I will confess that when we are together, I don't feel as 'cool' as them!
That's another story...
One of the things we like doing with each other is just coming together to watch movies in the evening. Last week we watched Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, very good. Last night we watched the new version of True Grit, not my favorite.
Whoever's house we are at, they put out a little spread of snacks (the usual suspects of cheese and crackers, chips, olives etc.).
Last night they came over to us, I was craving veggies and dip, (and chips and dip). I absolutely love French onion soup dip. Previously, I made it with soup mixes, but last night I didn't have any mixes, and really doesn't everything taste better from scratch anyway?
This dip sure does, my friend and I ate the whole bowl (luckily I made lots, and had kept another bowl in the fridge to be eaten today!)
Well here is the recipe, just in time for new years...
French Onion Soup Dip
3 tbsp olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped (I used a food processor)
1 cup fresh cheese
1 cup plain yoghurt (I use this amazingly cream Turkish yoghurt)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
In a frying pan, caramelize the onions in the oil until they are a bit crispy. It takes a bit of time. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
In a bowl, mix together the cheese and yoghurt, add the cooled onions and the salt, pepper and thyme.
Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the flavours can all come together.
Serve with veggies, chips or a spoon!
