THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip image

This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and coarsely chopped (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained well and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, chips or toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

ALMOST-FAMOUS SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP



Almost-Famous Spinach-Artichoke Dip image

Houston's hugely popular spinach-and-artichoke appetizer wasn't always such a crowd pleaser. It started as a lowly side dish in the mid '80s, after Houston's first opened in Nashville, and it came dangerously close to disappearing from the menu altogether until chefs at the restaurant's Chicago outpost noticed customers ordering it with chips and eating it like a dip. The chefs tweaked founder George Biel's recipe and gave it a snappy name, Chicago- Style Spinach Dip, and it became an instant hit. Some fans, like Isabel Mondejo from Orlando, FL, can't get enough of it and wrote to us asking for the recipe. The company wouldn't divulge its secrets, so the chefs in Food Network Kitchens created this perfect imitation.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
2 10-ounce bags spinach, stems removed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1/2 cup shredded white sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, squeezed dry and roughly chopped
Tortilla chips and salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the spinach and cook until bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold water; squeeze out the excess moisture, then finely chop.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan and sour cream.
  • Return the pot to medium heat. Add the spinach, cheddar and artichokes and stir until the cheese melts and the dip is heated through. Serve warm with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



Spinach Artichoke Dip image

Spinach artichoke dip has a way of inciting controversy. Should it be served cold or hot? Is it lowbrow or classic? Should it be served in a bread bowl or with tortilla chips? Well, the good news is that there are no wrong answers here, only delicious, creamy dip. This particular one is best served hot (or at least room temperature), but it is also acceptable to spread it on crackers after being chilled. And with the inclusion of fresh spinach, it could almost be described as classy. Use canned artichoke hearts; they've got a tangier flavor and better texture than the frozen ones. If you want to go a step further, transfer it to a skillet and run it under the broiler after cooking, which gives you bubbling dip with a golden top.

Categories     easy, quick, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 12-ounce bunch fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, defrosted, drained and finely chopped)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or shredded
4 ounces sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.

Artichoke spinach ranch dip is a delicious and popular appetizer that can be served at any occasion. It combines the flavors of artichoke hearts and spinach with the creaminess of ranch dressing to create a flavorful dipping sauce that pairs well with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

The History of Artichoke Spinach Ranch Dip

The origin of artichoke spinach ranch dip is not clear, but it is believed to have originated in the United States. Ranch dressing was first developed in the early 1950s by Steve Henson, who mixed some herbs and spices with buttermilk and mayonnaise to create a tangy dressing. This dressing gained popularity over the years and became a staple in American cuisine. The combination of ranch dressing, artichoke hearts, and spinach was likely a natural evolution of flavors that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Ingredients

Making artichoke spinach ranch dip is straightforward and requires only a few ingredients. These include:
Artichoke Hearts
Artichoke hearts are the edible portion of the artichoke plant, and they are the star ingredient in this recipe. Artichoke hearts can be purchased fresh, canned, or frozen, depending on your preference.
Spinach
Spinach is another critical ingredient in this recipe. It provides a fresh and slightly earthy flavor that complements the artichoke hearts.
Ranch Dressing
Ranch dressing is the base of this recipe and provides the creamy texture and tangy flavor that makes this dip so delicious. You can use store-bought or homemade ranch dressing, depending on your preference.
Cheese
Cheese is an optional ingredient that can be used to enhance the flavor and texture of the dip. Popular cheese options include Parmesan, mozzarella, or feta.
Spices and Herbs
Spices and herbs can be added to the dip to enhance the flavors. Popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

The Preparation

Making artichoke spinach ranch dip is quick and straightforward. Here are the basic steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Artichoke Hearts and Spinach
If using fresh artichoke hearts, trim away the tough outer leaves and cut off the top one-third of the artichoke. Cut the remaining artichoke hearts into small pieces. If using canned or frozen artichoke hearts, drain and chop them into small pieces. Next, chop the spinach into small pieces.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
Mix the chopped artichoke hearts and spinach with the ranch dressing, cheese, and spices in a large bowl until well combined.
Step 3: Bake the Dip (Optional)
If desired, you can bake the dip in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until heated through and bubbling. Alternatively, you can serve the dip right away at room temperature.

Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a delicious snack, artichoke spinach ranch dip is the way to go. Here are some valuable tips that will help you make the perfect artichoke spinach ranch dip recipe.

Choose the Right Ingredients

The key ingredient in artichoke spinach ranch dip is, of course, the artichoke and spinach. When choosing the artichoke, ensure that you select the right size that is fit for your recipe. The artichoke should be tight and heavy with firm leaves, and not look dry, shriveled, or withered. The spinach should also be fresh and vibrant green in color. In addition to artichokes and spinach, you'll need other ingredients such as sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Be sure to purchase high-quality ingredients as they will result in a better overall flavor of the dip. Make sure that you check the expiration dates on all ingredients, especially the sour cream and mayonnaise, which are perishable items.

Prepare the Ingredients

Preparing the ingredients for artichoke spinach ranch dip is straightforward, but it can be time-consuming. Begin by cleaning the artichokes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the top of the artichoke and remove the outer leaves. Cut the artichoke hearts into small bite-sized pieces. Next, clean the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Chop the spinach into small pieces, ensuring that it is chopped evenly. Mince the garlic and set it aside. You’ll also need to grate Parmesan cheese and measure the mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning.

Mix the Dip

The next step in the process is to mix all of the ingredients together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly to make sure the dip is smooth and creamy. Then add the artichokes and spinach to the mixture and mix everything together. Stir until the spinach and artichokes are evenly distributed throughout the dip.

Chill the Dip

Once you have mixed the artichoke spinach ranch dip, it is time to let it chill. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a deliciously creamy and flavorful dip.

Choose the Right Pairings

Artichoke spinach ranch dip goes well with an array of foods, including vegetables such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, and bell peppers. Additionally, bread and crackers are a perfect option to serve with this dip. Multigrain bread, crackers, or crispy tortilla chips complement the dip's flavor and texture.

Adjust the Flavoring Depending on Your Taste

The artichoke spinach ranch dip recipe can be made as per your taste preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less garlic or ranch seasoning. If you prefer a spicier dip, add some hot sauce or red pepper flakes. Taste the dip before adding any additional seasonings, as the dip may require a certain degree of seasoning depending on the preference of consumers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, artichoke spinach ranch dip is a delicious appetizer that can be easily made at home. With a few valuable tips, you can create the perfect recipe that is sure to impress your friends and family. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, prepare them properly, mix them together, let the dip chill, and pair the dip with the right foods. Never shy away from adjusting the recipe to meet your taste preference. Follow these tips, and your guests will be coming back for more.
