4 scallions
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chiles in adobo)
1 tablespoon dark agave syrup
1 teaspoon smoked black Hawaiian salt, plus additional as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place scallions on a quarter-sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Bake until charred and dehydrated, 20 to 30 minutes. (You can also grill the scallions, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, over medium-high heat until charred, 10 to 12 minutes.) Let cool completely.
Place scallions in a mini food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add sour cream, adobo, agave and salt and pulse until blended. Season to taste with additional salt.
