Short Description
A creamy, savoury blend of spinach, artichokes, and melted cheeses, this hot dip is a comforting classic perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
½ lb frozen spinach, drained
2 oz unsalted butter
1 onion, diced small
½ teaspoon chopped garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
1 cup heavy cream
1 ⅛ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
3 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 oz mozzarella cheese
½ can artichoke hearts, diced
Preparation
Strain spinach well through a strainer; it must be dry, then chop it
In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the garlic and onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add the flour to make a roux. Stir for 1 minute; add the cream very slowly to avoid lumps. The mix will thicken when the sauce comes to a boil; watch that it doesn't burn. When thickened, add the lemon juice, hot sauce and Parmesan cheese
Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream, and fold in spinach, artichokes, and cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Serve with tortilla chips
Can be portioned and microwaved later
