Time 25m

Yield 3 cups dip, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup light cream cheese
170 ml marinated artichoke hearts, one small jar (about 2/3 cup once drained)

1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
2 -3 tablespoons milk, if needed to help blend
1 teaspoon salt

olive oil, preferably in a spray bottle
salt and pepper

Artichoke and spinach dip is a versatile and creamy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. Whether it's for a party or a cozy night in, this delicious dip has become a popular choice among food enthusiasts worldwide. It is a combination of cooked spinach, artichokes, cheese, and seasonings that is usually served with sliced bread, crackers, or tortilla chips.

History of Artichoke and Spinach Dip

The origin of artichoke and spinach dip is not entirely clear, but many credit it to the popular chain restaurant Applebee's. In the 1990s, Applebee's introduced this dip to their menu, and it quickly became a customer favorite. Since then, many restaurants and home cooks have created their own versions of this classic appetizer, with varying ingredients and cooking methods.

Ingredients

The main ingredients for artichoke and spinach dip are spinach, artichokes, and cheese. However, there are many variations of this recipe that can include additional ingredients such as garlic, onions, sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream cheese.
Spinach
Fresh or frozen spinach can be used for this recipe, although fresh spinach is often preferred for its texture and flavor. It needs to be washed, dried, and chopped into small pieces before being added to the dip.
Artichokes
Canned or frozen artichokes are commonly used for this recipe. They need to be drained and chopped into small pieces before being added to the dip.
Cheese
The most commonly used cheese for artichoke and spinach dip is Parmesan, although other varieties like mozzarella, cheddar, and cream cheese can also be used. The cheese should be grated or chopped into small pieces before being added to the dip.

Preparation

Artichoke and spinach dip is a relatively easy recipe to make, even for beginners in the kitchen. The dip can be prepared in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Cook the Spinach and Artichokes
The first step in making artichoke and spinach dip is to cook the spinach and artichokes. If using canned artichokes, drain the liquid and chop them into small pieces. Next, cook the spinach in a skillet with garlic and onion until it is wilted. Drain any excess liquid, then add the artichokes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Add the Cheese and Seasonings
After the spinach and artichokes are cooked, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, top it with more cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Step 4: Serve

Valuable Tips When Making Artichoke and Spinach Dip Recipes

Artichoke and spinach dip is a popular dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of settings. Whether served as an appetizer for a dinner party or enjoyed as a snack while watching a movie at home, this dip is a delicious and versatile option. However, making the perfect artichoke and spinach dip requires some skill and attention to detail. With that in mind, here are some valuable tips that will help you create a dip that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients

Use Fresh Ingredients

One of the most important tips when making artichoke and spinach dip is to use fresh ingredients. Canned or frozen ingredients may be more convenient, but fresh ingredients will result in a dip that tastes better and has better texture. When shopping for ingredients, make sure to choose fresh spinach and artichokes, and avoid wilted or discolored produce.

Choose Good-Quality Cheese

Cheese is an important ingredient in artichoke and spinach dip, and choosing the right kind can make a big difference in the final result. For a creamy and rich dip, use a high-quality cheese such as Gruyere, fontina or Parmesan. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese that comes in a bag; it contains additives and doesn't melt as well as freshly grated cheese.

Preparation

Thoroughly Drain the Ingredients

Artichokes, spinach, and other ingredients used in the dip have high water content. If these ingredients are not properly drained, the excess water can make the dip watery and less flavorful. Therefore, it is important to drain the artichokes, spinach, and other ingredients thoroughly before using them in the dip.

Chop Ingredients Finely

For the best texture and flavor, chop the ingredients finely. This will help evenly distribute them throughout the dip, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor. Small, uniform pieces of spinach and artichoke will also ensure that the dip has a smooth and creamy texture, which is essential for a good artichoke and spinach dip.

Cooking

Cook the Spinach Separately

Spinach needs to be cooked before it is added to the dip, but it is best to cook it separately. This will ensure that the spinach is cooked evenly and doesn't clump together. Once it's cooked, place the spinach in a colander, and press out any excess water. This step will help prevent the dip from becoming runny.

Combine Ingredients Gradually

When combining the ingredients for the dip, do it gradually. This will help ensure that the dip is the correct consistency and is smooth and creamy. Start by adding a small amount of cheese and other ingredients, and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.

Bake the Dip Until Golden Brown

Artichoke and spinach dip is typically baked in the oven before serving. To get the perfect dip, bake it until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the dip is heated throughout and has a crispy top layer that is perfect for dipping.

Serving

Serve the Dip While It's Warm

Artichoke and spinach dip is best served immediately after it has been baked. If it sits too long, it can become cold and less appetizing. Therefore, it's best to bake it just before serving, or if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it in the oven to ensure that it's warm when served.

Pair the Dip With Appropriate Dippers

When serving artichoke and spinach dip, it is important to pair it with dippers that complement the flavor of the dip. Some popular options include tortilla chips, crostini or sliced baguette, pita bread, or even raw veggies like carrot sticks and celery. Choose dippers that are sturdy enough to hold up to the thick and creamy texture of the dip.

Add Garnishes to Enhance Presentation

To enhance the presentation and make the dip more visually appealing, consider adding some garnishes, such as chopped parsley or chives, sliced cherry tomatoes or diced red bell pepper. These added touches will make the dish look more attractive and appetizing.

Conclusion

Artichoke and spinach dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of settings. By following these valuable tips, you can make a dip that is sure to impress your guests. Use fresh ingredients, chop them finely, cook the spinach separately, combine the ingredients gradually, and serve the dip warm with appropriate dippers and garnishes. These tips will help you create a perfect artichoke and spinach dip every time!
