Sunnys Spicy Tomato Dip Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Fold together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Line up four 9-ounce clear cups. Add a spoonful of the graham cracker crust crumbs to each, followed by a drizzle of the caramel dip. Next, snip a hole in one corner of the bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe in about an inch of the mixture; top with half an inch of the apple pie filling. Repeat the steps one more time or until the cups are filled, ending with one final crumble of the graham cracker crust crumbs on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, or chill until served.

SUNNY'S SPICY TOMATO DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot or pan over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the tomatoes and capers and cook, stirring intermittently, so the tomato skins begin to sear and brown. Once the skins begin to burst, add the onions and red chili flakes. Season everything with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, lightly stirring, until the onions are tender and the tomatoes release their juices, mashing them gently as you stir. Add the tomato paste, basil and garlic. Stir and cook until the tomato paste blends into everything, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer until the garlic is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the basil leaves and discard. Pour the contents into a blender or use an immersion blender to blitz everything until smooth. Refrigerate and serve chilled as a dip.

SUNNY'S EASY 7-LAYER GYRO DIP

Steps:

• For the lamb: In a large pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. When it begins to swirl, add the onion, garlic, oregano, lamb, salt and plenty of black pepper. Combine the ingredients, breaking up the lamb while cooking, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Layer the dip. In an 8-inch square dish, layer in this order: Spread the hummus on the bottom, then sprinkle evenly with the lamb, feta, tomatoes and cucumbers. Spread the tzatziki dip over the top and sprinkle with the dill to finish. Serve with the pita chips.

SUNNY'S 1, 2, 3 SPICY BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Combine drained and rinsed beans, undrained beans, yogurt, chile garlic sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth while drizzling in a bit of olive oil to help the process along and to get the desired thickness.
• Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dollop of chile sauce in the center. Serve with nut crackers, pita chips or any dippables.

SUNNY'S SPICY SEATTLE HOAGIE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, fold the cream cheese and adobo sauce together until the mixture is a uniform color. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the onions, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing, until the slices are tender and golden on the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the sausages to the grill split-side down and grill, flipping once, until cooked through and charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• To assemble the hoagies, add a split sausage to the bottom piece of each bun. Remove the cream cheese mixture from the refrigerator and cut a hole in the corner of the bag. Press the bag to squeeze equal amounts of the mixture down the center of each sausage. Top with the grilled onions, a squirt of mustard and the bun tops.
