Dipping Recipe

There are thousands of dips which can be can be prepared, like spinach, bean, onion, shrimp, etc. Nevertheless, there is also oil dipping. Most of these are olive oil based, because of its delicate bouquet and health aspects. It is also used to give the stomach walls a protection film, which helps digestion – and so is the function of wine. Nevertheless, a glass should be sufficient and over drinking or over eating is never healthy. A meal usually is accompanied by an appetizer, then with a wine and finally with a liqueur (sweet). At the end of such a meal your guest will not feel uncomfortable, or feel they have over eaten – considering of course the quantity of food being served. Quality is better than quantity!

So, if you create a dipping to spend some time with friends or as an appetizer to a great meal, always create a balance of dishes, taste and health. Dipping can be accompanied by crackers, toasted rounds of white bread, or any kind of bread that will not take away the taste of the dipping itself.
