Barbecuing without dips? Unthinkable for me! These three variants have become an integral part of our barbecue evenings over the years. It all started with the ajvar dip, which I learned about from a friend from the Balkans. The other two then emerged from a spirit of experimentation because I am always looking for new flavor combinations. The ajvar dip lives on the fruity spiciness of the ajvar, a pepper paste that is available in various degrees of spiciness. Your personal taste decides here! The feta provides a creamy texture and a salty note that harmonizes perfectly with the ajvar. The onion brings a light spiciness and freshness into play. Make sure to use a mild variety so that it is not too dominant. With the olive herb curd cheese dip, the quality of the olives is crucial. I like to use a mix of different varieties, from Kalamata to green olives with herbs. The goat cream cheese gives the dip a special spice and a slightly sour note. The herb curd cheese provides the creamy base and the fresh herb aromas. The blueberry feta dip is perhaps the most unusual variant, but that is precisely what makes it so exciting. The sweetness of the blueberries, combined with the salty feta and the slightly sour yogurt, is a real taste experience. The maple syrup enhances the sweetness of the blueberries and provides a caramel note. A hint of lime zest rounds off the whole thing. With the Thermomix®, it is important not to mix the ingredients for too long so that the dips do not become too fine. A slightly chunky consistency is desired here. For the ajvar dip and olive dip, first chop the onion or olives and then add the remaining ingredients. This ensures that they are evenly distributed. For a vegetarian version of the ajvar dip, you can replace the feta with a vegan alternative. For the olive herb curd cheese dip, you can replace goat cream cheese and herb curd cheese with vegan alternatives. The blueberry feta dip is a little more difficult to veganize, but there is now also vegan almond-based feta. Serve the dips with fresh bread, baguette, vegetable sticks or crackers. The ajvar dip goes perfectly with grilled food, especially meat and sausages. The olive herb curd cheese dip is a great accompaniment to fish and seafood. The blueberry feta dip is a surprisingly delicious combination with grilled cheese or chicken. All dips can be prepared well and stored in the refrigerator. They can be kept for 2-3 days without any problems. However, the blueberry feta dip should not stand for too long, as the blueberries will otherwise draw juice and dilute the dip. It is best to prepare it shortly before serving.
