Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
3 poblano peppers, charred, peeled, deveined, seeded and cut into strips (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chicharrones (pork cracklings) or pita chips, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the poblano rajas (strips) and saute for about 2 minutes. Let cool.
Put the artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream and mayonnaise in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the onion-poblano mixture and pulse a couple times until combined, making sure to leave the mixture a little chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake until golden brown and melted, about 15 minutes.
Serve with chicharrones or pita chips.
