How I came up with this recipe has a short story behind it……

In a 15 minutes notice I was about to have visitors last weekend and guess what…

It was Friday evening and I had just emptied my refrigerator to shop more on Saturday….

How to make this Spicy Strawberry Walnut Dip

  • Fortunately, I had some fresh strawberries.
  • So without giving too much thought I heated a nonstick pan
  • Then, I threw strawberries along with maple syrup in it.
  • Thereafter, I added fresh jalapeno and as always I had dried garlic siting in my pantry.
  • Afterwards, I cooked till the strawberries were soft enough and then let it cool.
  • Lastly, I blended the dip and served it with crackers.

While searching for some unique ingredient to mix with it I found some raw walnuts in one of my kitchen shelf.

I gave it a try and blended it with cooked strawberries and to moisten the dip I topped it with walnut oil to give a subtle walnut flavor to the dip. I tasted it and simply fell in love with it in the first bite.

My guests couldn’t stop praising this recipe and I got a brain wave of sharing this wonderful and quick appetizer with you all.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 whole jalapeno pepper (chopped)
  • 1 tsp dried garlic
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 tsp walnut oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • In a nonstick pan combine strawberries, maple syrup, jalapeno pepper, garlic and cook for couple of minutes or until strawberries are soft stirring at intervals to avoid sticking.
  • Turn off the flame and let it cool completely.
  • In a grinder/food processor spoon the strawberry mix along with walnuts and walnut oil and grind it into a smooth paste.
  • Spoon the dip in the serving bowl, add salt and serve with your choice of crackers and enjoy.

Notes

  • If in a hurry put the pan in the freezer for couple of minutes for the strawberry mix to cool down.
  • Feel free to garnish with finely chopped strawberries and jalapeno for more chunky bites.
  • Do not overcook the strawberries to avoid the burning taste.
  • This recipe yields about 1 cup of the dip.
  • This dip has a more savory and spicy taste and very mild sweet flavor to it. I used maple syrup to cut the sourness of the strawberries and bring its smooth flavor out.

    This is such a brilliant recipe, and I am super duper jazzed to try this recipe over the weekend after I pick up some fresh strawberries from the farmers’ market. Yay! I love this combination of flavors (sweet strawberries, spicy jalapenos, and toasted walnuts). You rock! =)

      Hi Candy, walnuts give a rustic taste to this dip and a creamy base too without any use of dairy. Walnuts are essential for this dip. πŸ™‚
