Slice shallots into rounds, keeping them thick enough to hold their shape.

Heat olive oil (60 ml) in a skillet over medium heat until it glistens.

Add shallots to the skillet and sprinkle with salt to help them cook and release water.

Cook shallots for about 2-3 minutes until golden and soft, not deeply caramelized.

Add a splash of white wine vinegar and vermouth to the skillet to create a sauce.

Remove shallots from the skillet to stop cooking and retain the sauce.

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and a good pinch of salt, mixing until smooth.

Add lemon zest to the yogurt mixture and mix again.

Drizzle the oil from the skillet over the yogurt mixture and layer the cooked shallots on top.

Sprinkle dill over the shallots and mix some into the dip.

Serve with crinkle crisps for dipping.
