Spinach Artichoke Dip
I do like artichokes. Alot. But a good friend of mine is abnormally obsessed with them. I’ve never seen anyone get so excited when artichokes make it to the antipasto platter. So. To my dear friend who is abnormally obsessed with artichokes – this Spinach Artichoke Dip is dedicated to her!
What goes in Spinach Artichoke Dip
As one would expect, the two stars in this dip are artichoke and spinach. I used jarred artichokes in brine but you can use frozen thawed or artichokes that come in oil. The creaminess in this dip comes from cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise. I use this combination with most of my dip recipes because I find it yields the best texture – soft enough to scoop without breaking the chips, but not sloppy – and flavour (mayo gives it a flavour boost). In addition, this recipe has grated cheese for a cheesiness boost, garlic powder and parmesan to add an extra element of savouriness.
This is one of the simplest dip recipes I know. At least, a dip that I consider to be “made from scratch”, albeit I make this with frozen spinach, pickled artichokes and cream cheese. Rather than growing and chopping fresh spinach, harvesting and brining my own artichokes, breeding my own cows and making my own cheese. 😉 OK, having written all that, it sounds totally hypocritical to say that I feel like this is “made from scratch:, but I totally do! Is that reasonable?? Or unreasonable?!!!
Extra Fast Recipe
This is a really quick and easy Spinach Artichoke Dip because I just heat it through in the microwave rather than baking. For most warm dips, I bake the because it gives the dip time for the flavours to melt. For this Spinach Artichoke Dip, baking it doesn’t really add to flavour and this is a creamy dip without a crunchy top so I just microwave it. Do try to make ahead if you can though. This is one of those dips where the flavours develop with time. It will keep for days in the fridge, and it even freezes great too! – Nagi xx
