FRESH SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP (AKA SHEEP DIP)



Fresh Spinach & Artichoke Dip (Aka Sheep Dip) image

Adapted from Best of the Best from Colorado, this recipe is so named, according to their description, because the recipe poster's father was a sheep rancher. This is supposedly a best selling recipe on the menu at River City Cafe in Colorado. I have not tried this yet, but since any spinach dip calling for fresh spinach appeals to me, I wanted to share it. This is very different from the usual spinach dips. I have never seen another version quite like this one. I am guessing at the cook time, which I will update once I try this. This makes enough dip for your whole herd! ;). To me, this is perfect football party food!

FRESH SPINACH DIP



FRESH SPINACH DIP image

I know there are a lot of Spinach Dip recipes out there, but I love this one because you use fresh spinach. Like everything else, the flavor is so much better when you use fresh! I like using whole spinach leaves, but feel free to chop up the spinach before cooking if you like them smaller.

FRESH SPINACH DIP



Fresh Spinach Dip image

I love spinach dips, but I don't really adore frozen spinach. This recipe calls for fresh spinach and is a welcome change. Adapted from a Beter Homes & Gardens holiday issue. Start with a large bag of fresh spinach and finely chop it - once chopped, the amount of spinach you need should fill 3 cups of volume. Prep time allows for chopping the spinach. Please plan ahead -this needs several hours chilling time.

1 lb fresh spinach
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium shallot, finely diced
2 clove garlic,finely minced
1 c greek style yogurt
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 c crumbled feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Soak spinach in a large bowl of water to remove any grit, drain and repeat if necessary.
  • 2. Place spinach in a saucepan, there should be enough water on the leaves -so you won't need any oil. Place the saucepan over high heat and let the spinach wilt, tossing in the pan-so as not to scorch.
  • 3. When the spinach is wilted, remove from heat and place in a strainer. Drain and let cool. When cool, gather the leaves and squeeze out as much water as possible.(you will end up with just a small handfull of spinach)
  • 4. Chop the spinach and place in a mixing bowl. Heat a small saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 3 -4 minutes or until the shallots are golden brown.
  • 5. Add the shallot mixture to spinach bowl. Now add the yogurt and lemon juice and combine. Add the feta and mix together. A salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve. serve with:https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-chowder-soup/lavosh.html?p=1
