artichoke dip
10Dec10
‘Tis the season for appetizers! Here’s my attempt to develop another healthy and delicious appetizer. My mom’s family always has Artichoke Dip (you know the one: creamy, rich and awesome!) at their family gatherings. Don’t get me wrong — I love that stuff. But, I fear that more than a few of my extra pounds came directly from that steaming casserole dish.
I created this dish with the classic recipe in mind. I blended marinated and canned artichoke hearts with seasonings to get a creamy, savory dip to spread on crackers, bread or veggies.
Artichoke Dip
Ingredients:
- 1 jar of marinated artichoke hearts
- 2 cans of artichoke hearts, packed in water
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions:
- Drain artichoke hearts, leaving half the jar of marinated artichoke liquid.
- Peel and roughly chop the clove of garlic.
- Put all ingredients into a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Taste and then adjust seasonings.
- Enjoy!
