Artichoke Spinach Dip

Artichokes are not well utilized in Indian culture, but I have always been fascinated with artichoke spinach dip.So this week I started my first experiment from scratch

Ingredients

  • 1 artichoke
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley flakes
  • 1/2 diced onion
  • 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

  1. Boil the artichoke. Peel each layer of petals and scrape the ends to get the edible residue off with a spoon and collect this material in a bowl.
  2. Scoop the fuzzy center part covering the heart out and discard it (DO NOT EAT IT). The remaining portion at the bottom is the heart- cut it into pieces.
  3. Cut the baby spinach and microwave it for 3 minutes.
  4. Add all the ingredients and mix them well.
  5. Top it off with mozzarella cheese and bake it for 10 minutes.
  6. The dip is ready to eat with your favorite chips (pita, tortilla, etc.)
