Ingredients

  • 6.5 oz King Oscar Kipper Snacks, divided (two tins, drained)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 TBSP shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup cooked spinach (see notes)
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Roughly chop *half* of the Kipper Snacks and throw them into a blender or food processor along with the mayo, sour cream, parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and transfer to a bowl or container.
  • Mince the other half of the Kipper Snacks and toss them into the dip. This gives the dip some texture and nice smokey bits of fish.
  • Add the cooked and drained spinach into the dip, and then add the sliced scallion. Season with salt and pepper, mix thoroughly, and taste. Season to adjust.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for at least two hours, or up to a day in advance before serving. The dip is fine once made, but allowing the flavors to settle promises a tastier, smokier dip, and it will be worth the wait :)

Notes

*Idle time is two hours for refrigeration prior to serving. This is suggested so the flavors can set and be much, much tastier!
*For the cooked spinach, I simply used a 10 oz package of frozen chopped spinach. I cooked it as per the packages instructions, drained it thoroughly to rid of all the water, and added 1/2 a cup to the dip. I packed the rest up in a container and used it in a pasta dish later in the week. If you double this recipe for a large party, use the entire package.
