Peppercorn Dip

Instead of buying prepared dip, we flavor sour cream with peppercorns, shallots, and herbs. It is a nice addition to a crudité platter and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

In a bowl, we combine the sour cream, buttermilk, and shallots. With clean hands, we remove the thyme leaves from their stems by holding onto the stems and running our fingers down the stems over the bowl of dip. We discard the stems. Next, we add the peppercorns, a little salt, a good amount of freshly grated pepper, and spoon the mixture into a ramekin. We top shredded basil and refrigerate to meld the flavors.
