Spanish saffron, bloomed gold, honoring John's Miracle of the Mountain.
Milagro Saffron-Paprika Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Yes We Can! Milagro blend
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp lemon zest
Directions
- Warm the olive oil gently — 15-20 seconds in the microwave or a few seconds in a small pan on low.
- Stir the Milagro blend into the warm oil to bloom the saffron; the oil should turn a deep gold. Cool 5 minutes.
- Whisk the bloomed oil into the yogurt and cream cheese along with the lemon zest.
- Cover and chill overnight — the color deepens and the saffron rounds out as it sits.
Hostess Tip: Serve with pita chips. The visible gold color is the whole sell here — don't skip the bloom step or it reads flat.
