My grandma has a lot of dill in her backyard, and it seeds itself at this point. Last year, she sent me a jar of seeds for my own garden. It turns out dill sprouts are VERY finicky and didn't survive Great Dane pee day after day. This year, we were more creative with our container planting, and got a lot of dill growing.
I LOVE the fresh smell and taste of dill, and last year, I found this great recipe on Epicurious.com for a "Spicy Dill Dip (
Original Recipe)." I followed it exactly and it turned out VERY spicy with the amount of chili sauce. So now, I make it like this:
1/2 cup light sour cream
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced green onion
3-4 drops Sriracha
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
I mix it all up in a bowl, and set it out with veggies, crackers, or chips. It keeps very well in the fridge for a few days, and I even think the flavor gets better.
