‘Star Wars’ Halloween: Darth Maul Dip And Death Star Popcorn Balls

In a galaxy far, far away, there was really awesome food!

 

​

​

The Darth Maul Dip

​

(makes 1½  cups)

• 1 jar (15 ounces) roasted red peppers

• 1 small clove garlic, peeled

• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon pepper

• 1 Tablespoon cream cheese

• 2 pearl onions

• ½ cup poppy seeds ( or substitute black sesame seeds)

• Corn chips

 

DIRECTIONS:

Drain the peppers and lay flat on a paper towel to dry. Remove blackened skin. Add the peppers, garlic clove, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and cream cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Use a spatula to spread the dip evenly onto a flat plate that is larger than the Darth Maul template.  Chill the dip for 1 hour. Remove the chilled dip from the refrigerator and lay the template over the dip. Sprinkle the poppy seeds evenly over it. Brush off any poppy seeds from template. Place pearl onions on the face to make the eyes, adding one poppy seed on each onion for the pupils. (You can make Darth Maul’s eyes yellow by soaking the onions in warm water with a pinch of saffron.) Place three or four corn chips on head to make horns. Drape a black cloth around the plate to make Darth Maul’s cape. Serve with corn chips.
