Last-minute Super Bowl snacks

As a lifelong Philadelphia fan, I don’t care who wins Super Bowl 50. Panthers? Broncos? What’s an Eagles fan to do?

We are hoping for Philly cheesesteaks and soft pretzels next year.

It’s not too late to put together your own Game Day repast. Here’s a quick-and-easy recipe from the folks at Real Simple, Spinach and Carmelized Onion Dip. Serve it with crunchy broccoli, cauliflower and radishes.

Here’s the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

  1. tablespoons olive oil
  2. medium onions, chopped
  3. kosher salt and black pepper
  4. 116-ounce container sour cream
  5. 110-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess liquid
  6. tablespoon white wine vinegar
  7. broccoli and cauliflower florets, endive spears, and radishes, for serving

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool.
  2. Add the sour cream, spinach, vinegar, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the onions and mix to combine. Serve with the veggies.
