Hi and welcome back 2015 I hope you had a super break. Now I'm going to start the
season off with a really easy recipe
A blue cheese dip, you could use this as a dressing as well of course.
Now the reason I'm making this is because some on my Aussie mates have
asked me if I'd do those spicy buffalo wings, we've got Australia Day coming up
towards the end of the month
and I'm going to use the blue cheese dip with it, So
stay peeled for that recipe we're going to put an Aussie twist
on the buffalo wings as well. Lets get on and make a blue cheese dip
Now as with a lot of dips and dressings we start with a good quality mayonnaise, now
you can certainly use shop bought
I'm going to show you just how easy is to make your
own mayonnaise and so so quickly. Just going to take some canola oil
we're going to put about 250 milliliters and that's just a cup of canola oil
into that we're just going to break one fresh egg
Now into that I want to add about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
but white wine vinegar will be fine we're going to season this with some salt
and pepper
a little bit of black pepper in there, a few twists
of salt, about a teaspoon of Dijon mustard
and I liked to just sweeten it slightly with about three quarters
of a teaspoon of sugar, raw sugar, white sugar it doesn't really matter
Now just look how quickly we're going to make this mayonnaise. I've got my stick blender here
stick that into your oil and a few seconds later
we've got this
wonderful thick mayonnaise. Now look at that you can taste it now
and you can adjust the seasoning if you like but that is perfect for me
Now most of us would finish the dip in this juh because I'm filming it
I'm going to put my cup of mayonnaise, a little over a cup now
into a mixing bowl, it's beautiful and Stiff
next we have sour cream, now I'm gong to put about 200
mls, three quarters of a cup would just about do you a little bit less
than the mayonnaise just pop that in there so we've got our beautiful sour
cream, our homemade mayonnaise
I've got some blue cheese here now if your blue cheese is a little bit creamy
and doesn't crumble, this ones crumbling quite nicely
you can always grate it into the mixture, now because my blue cheese
is crumbling nicely I'm just going to put it in as it is
see all that lovely texture, we're just going to slide that
in on top now don't forget the cheese itself is pretty salty so we probably
don't need to season this
anymore I'm just going to mix that through, now look at the beautiful
texture of
that ,now I'm just going to add a few chopped chives into that
and then before I mix the chives in, I'm just going to have a little taste and see if it
needs
any other seasoning,now's the time to do it. It just needs
for me a little extra black pepper so going to pop some black pepper in there
give it that final stir around
and like I say this will get better if you store it for a few hours before
you use it just to let the flavors get through
the dip or the sauce. If you want it a little bit thinner for a dressing
but more sour cream in it will actually get a little bit thinner
Now just come in here I've got the blue cheese dip, I've sprinkled a little blue
cheese
we've got our carrot and celery sticks and a great big gap at the front there
because we are going to be making some fantastic
buffalo wings to go with these, Aussie style
Join me tomorrow for that if you've enjoyed the video please give it a thumbs up
and I'll see you next time take care.
It is wonderful having you back now I'm going to leave some links up to some other
dips
on Steve's Kitchen. I did a whole series of dips last year, probably a link to some other
videos here as well

and have a wonderful day, be good, see you next time.
