Mushroom and Spinach Dip image

Amazing as a dip, but also fantastic as a filling for turnovers using puff pastry. The key to a really intense mushroomy flavour is using a food processor to mince the mushrooms. I discovered that when I was too lazy to mince them by hand, although I don't understand the science behind it, lol. Excellent served either hot or cold.

Time 30m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, minced fine
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 lbs mushrooms
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or heavy bottomed pan saute the onions and butter on high heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic powder and mushrooms and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the spinach, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently. The mixture won't get 'dry', but you don't want it to be really wet.
  • Add the cream cheese. Mix well until it all dissolves.
  • Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper, if desired.
