Artichoke Black Olive Dip Food

ARTICHOKE & OLIVE DIP

Steps:

• Put the artichokes, olives, pine nuts, Parmesan and lemon juice into a food processor and whizz to a rough paste. Can be made up to a day ahead and chilled. When ready to serve, put into a bowl, swirl the reserved oil from the artichokes over the top and finish with the remaining olive. If made ahead, bring it to room temperature about an hour before serving to let the flavours develop.

SPINACH, OLIVE AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2-quart baking dish (round or rectangular) with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
• In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, olives, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, Pecorino and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Then add the garlic, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to roughly chop.
• Place dough balls around the edge of the prepared baking dish. Fill the center of the dish with the dip, spreading to even. Press any remaining dough balls into the top of the dip. Brush the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and then sprinkle the dough and the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip is bubbling and the rolls are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

CHEESY ROASTED GARLIC ARTICHOKE OLIVE DIP

Steps:

• Set your oven to 400 degrees. Cut the top off the head of garlic and place it in a small baking dish, cut side up. Drizzle it with the oil and place it in your oven. (Don't wait for it to preheat.) Roast the garlic for 25 minutes, or until it is soft and the top is starting to brown. Remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool.

• Place the dip in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbling and all the cheese has melted. Sprinkle the top with oregano and serve immediately.
