I would like to try Alton Browns En****e Dip from Good Eats, but he puts in a tablespoon of Miso Paste, I found it and frankly, its a bit pricey for something I just want to try. is there anything I can substitute that might be just around the house, or a better multi-tasker? or anything else the paste is good for?
Anything else for Miso Paste?

Miso soup would be an obvious suggestion. I use miso often times to replace the saltiness that cheese would give. I stir it into polenta, for instance. I also use it in soups and sauces. It will also keep for a long time and may be cheaper at an asian grocery store.
Here is a list of 'miso' recipes from allrecipes.

Miso soup, of course. That's a real go-to thing in my house. Makes a great hot drink to start the day.
Marinade/glaze (eg miso-galzed salmon)
Salad dressing
Stir fry sauce

I used it to roast a turkey one year and it came out great! I remember thinking that I should try it with a chicken sometime.....

Splurge & buy the Miso paste. It literally lasts FOREVER in the fridge. I think the tub of yellow miso I have right now is over a year old & still going strong. Wonderful stuff. I use it in Miso Soup (of course) & in stirfries, & certain Japanese dishes. A small dollop is also great in run-of-the-mill ramen soup.

I think cost depends where you buy it... I generally get it in Asian groceries and it is fairly cheap.
Miso soup is as warming and nourishing as chicken soup.. great when you have a cold. It is great as a flavoring for meats, veggies etc as mentioned.. generally a great thing to have around your kitchen... and it keeps well....
note to self..... Miso put on shopping list

Alton Brown also puts a tbsp. of miso paste in a crockpot split-pea soup recipe.
Well you've conviced me!
I'll check one of the local Asian markets, we have plenty of them around. Central market had it for almost $7. I know not much but if was something i was only going to use a teaspoon off.
Miso soup is good, I had it at a Sushi bar once.

Buy a bottle or package of dry dashi while at the asian store. You'll need it for the soup.

Yup - nothing like a box (or boxes in my case - lol) of instant dashi in the cupboard. Between that, & the miso paste & tofu I always have in the fridge, I can make myself a nice steaming cup or bowl of Miso Soup at the drop of a hat!
