Attention all kitchen fairies and leftover-saving superheroes! Get ready, because today we’ve got something that’s not just budget-friendly, but planet-friendly too. Introducing DizKo's “Three Zero-Waste Dip Recipes” collection—packed with clever recipes that prove kitchen scraps are actually undercover treasures just waiting to shine in the spotlight!

Broccoli Stem Dip

Let’s be honest: the broccoli stem usually ends up in the trash without a second thought. But guess what? It’s just as tasty as the part everyone actually eats. This creamy, spiced dip proves that the humble stem isn’t just edible—it’s the new snack-time superstar. Pro tip: save the recipe now, because your guests will be asking for it.

INGREDIENTS:

• 180 g broccoli stem

• 250 g canned white beans

• 1 tbsp chopped chives

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

• ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1.5 tbsp tahini

• Juice of ¼ lemon

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• ½–1 tsp salt

  
  

HOW TO PREPAIRE IT?

1. Clean the broccoli stem well. If the skin is thick, peel it with a vegetable peeler, then chop it into smaller pieces.

2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and toss in the chopped stems. Cook for 8–10 minutes until tender, then drain and let them cool slightly.

3. While that’s going, rinse and drain the beans. Peel and finely grate (or mince) a small garlic clove—since it’s going in raw, less is more here.

4. Time to blend! Add the cooked broccoli stem, rinsed beans, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and pepper to a food processor. Blitz until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more olive oil to loosen it up.

5. Stir in a spoonful of finely chopped fresh chives for a bright, fresh kick. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon if needed.

6. Scoop it into a bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, and sprinkle with a bit more chives for garnish.

BBQ Mashed Potato Dip

What happens to leftover boiled potatoes? Usually, they sit in the fridge all week before getting tossed. But what if we told you that sad side dish could become the base for a velvety, flavor-packed BBQ dip? This one’s quick, cheap, and so tasty, even leftover-haters will be licking the bowl clean.

INGREDIENTS:

• 200 g cooked potatoes

• 4 tbsp ketchup

• 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 3 tsp honey

• 1 tsp mustard

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

• ½ tsp salt

  
  

HOW TO PREPAIRE?

1. No leftover potatoes? No problem. Wash some (don’t peel), toss them whole into a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil for 20–25 minutes until fork-tender. Drain, let them cool, then peel—the flavor stays better this way, and they won’t turn watery.

2. Add the potatoes to a mixing bowl or food processor. Toss in the ketchup, vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.

3. Blend it all until creamy with a stick blender, food processor, or mixer. If it’s too thick, add a spoon or two of water to smooth it out. Aim for a creamy, spreadable consistency—not soup!

4. Scoop into a serving bowl. It’s perfect with crackers, pita chips, tortilla chips, or raw veggies. Got leftovers? Store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for 2–3 days—it gets even better the next day as the flavors mingle.

Mediterranean Rice Dip

Did you know rice is one of the most commonly wasted cooked foods? Not in your kitchen, though—not anymore.

Forget time-consuming appetizers that eat up your whole afternoon. This bold-flavored, crowd-pleasing Mediterranean Rice Dip is ready in minutes, and it’s so good your guests will beg for seconds. It’s a creamy, flavor-packed way to give lonely leftover rice a tasty new life!

INGREDIENTS:

• 200 g cooked rice

• 100 g feta cheese

• 50 g olive oil

• 8 fresh basil leaves

• 35 g sun-dried tomatoes

• 20 g olives

  
  

How to make it?

1. Measure the rice (if freshly cooked, let it cool a bit). Crumble the feta, wash the basil leaves and pat them dry. If the sun-dried tomatoes are large, chop them up a little.

2. Add the rice, feta, olive oil, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, and a pinch of sea salt to a food processor or strong blender.

3. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pause as needed to scrape down the sides. If it’s too thick, drizzle in a little more olive oil.

4. Once it’s silky and spreadable, transfer to a bowl. Chop the olives into small pieces or thin slices and stir them in by hand—they add a nice rustic bite.

5. Serve the dip in a bowl. Garnish with extra olive slices, a drizzle of olive oil, and a few fresh basil leaves for flair.
