Description
Delicious and creamy artichoke dip, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz. can artichoke hearts in water
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup sliced Peperoncini peppers
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- serving Joseph’s Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat Pita Bread (optional)
Instructions
- Take cream cheese out of the fridge and let it soften on the counter.
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray baking dish with non-stick spray if desired.
- Drain artichokes in a colander placed in the sink. Pat dry with paper towels if they still seem wet.
- Chop artichokes, slice green onions, and chop Peperoncini peppers (or other peppers) and place in food processor, using the steel blade.
- Process just until all the ingredients are in coarsely chopped pieces about the same size. (Keep them a bit chunky to add texture to the dip.)
- In a plastic or glass bowl combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Spike Seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine well.
- Stir artichoke heart mixture into the cream cheese mixture, and gently combine.
- Place dip mixture into a glass or crockery baking dish that holds at least one quart.
- Bake 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling hot and starting to slightly brown on top. (You can cook it a bit longer if you prefer a browned Parmesan crust.)
- Serve hot, with toasted triangles of Joseph’s Low-Carb Pita Bread, gluten-free pita bread, red bell pepper strips, sliced jicama, or celery. Or if you don’t care about the carbs use toasted bread or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Peperoncini peppers to taste.
- Spike Seasoning can be substituted with your favorite seasoning blend.
