I found this recipe on the O-Cha site. Looks like a great way to incorporate green tea into a lowfat dip!

Time 15m

Yield 18 tablespoons

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 green tea bags
1 cup reduced-fat cream cheese or 1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh chives or 2 tablespoons basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place tea bags in a heatproof glass or ceramic container that holds more than 1 cup.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to a not-quite boil and remove from heat immediately. (Water that has come to a boil should be cooled for about 1 minute before using.)
  • Pour water over tea bags and allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags, squeeze out liquid and discard.
  • Allow tea to cool to room temperature.
  • If not using immediately, refrigerate (covered) until ready to use. (Depending on the temperature of the room, tea left standing eventually will develop mold.)
  • Allow refrigerated tea to come to room temperature before using.
  • Place cheese and minced herb in a blender and mix on medium-high speed to blend thoroughly.
  • Continue blending until mixture is smooth.
  • Gradually add small amounts of the tea concentrate until the mixture is spreadable, as desired.
  • Transfer the tea-cream cheese mixture to a covered container and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld.
  • Bring mixture back to room temperature before using, either as a spread for toasted bagels or bread at breakfast; as a spread for crackers, sandwiches or wraps; or as a dip for vegetable crudites and toasted tortilla chips.

THE STORE'S GREEN DIP



The Store's Green Dip image

Bert Greene was one of the owners of the Store in Amagansett, a gourmet shop and catering outfit on the eastern end of Long Island, N.Y., that was in the early 1970s a kind of lodestar of casual-elegant cooking and entertaining - expensive and, to those with the money to spend it, worth it. (He was like a cross between Ina Garten and Anna Pump, of Loaves & Fishes in Sagaponack.) This is his recipe for a tart, abrasive and wildly delicious dip to serve, garnished with watercress, with an enormous quantity of iced, slivered vegetables. (It's also great on fish, sandwiches, or even as a dip for slices of delivery pizza.)

GREEK GODDESS DIP



Greek Goddess Dip image

This Greek goddess dip is stunningly verdant and has a bright herby flavor. The Greek strain in this dressing comes from using dill in place of watercress. Make it and watch it do a disappearing act on vegetables, pita chips or whatever conduit you can dream up.
