Artichoke Jalapeño Dip

January 30, 2019 By msmart Leave a Comment

Artichoke Jalapeño DipArtichoke Jalapeno Dip

This artichoke jalapeño dip falls in the category of “healthyish.” Full of artichoke hearts and pickled jalapeños, it’s creamy enough to feel indulgent. Use water-packed artichoke hearts, not the ones marinated in olive oil.  Fresh lemon juice and good quality Parmesan and mayonnaise make a difference. I use Hellman’s or Best Foods, as it’s known west of the Rockies.

First, purée half the artichokes in a food processor with everything but the spices. Then, roughly chop the remaining artichoke hearts and fold them into the dip by hand. Don’t use the pulse setting on the food processor, which will over mix the ingredients. Be sure to add the salt, pepper and cayenne.

Warm the dip in a bread bowl or an oven-safe ceramic bowl. If you don’t have time to heat it, serve at room temperature with crudités. Pita chips and crostini also make delicious dippers. Sometimes I garnish with chopped rosemary and flakey salt to add a touch a texture.

Most versions of artichoke jalapeño dip contain a hefty dose of sour cream or cream cheese, but this one tastes predominately of artichoke. It’s a healthier alternative to the classic footwall-watching snack. Which leaves you more room for buffalo wings. You’re welcome.

Artichoke Jalapeño Dip

When served warm, I prefer this dip with crostini. When I serve it at room temperature, I serve it with crunchy vegetables and crackers.
