Fresh Spinach Artichoke Dip Aka Sheep Dip Food

ARTICHOKE DIP WITH FRESH SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine onions, shallots, parsley, chives, sage, garlic, ginger, and rosemary leaves in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Pour olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until pureed.
• Transfer pureed mixture to a large bowl. Add Alfredo sauce and whisk until fully combined, about 3 minutes. Whisk in cream cheese until smooth with no lumps. Stir in Italian cheese. Add spinach and artichokes and mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 45 minutes.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

AWESOME SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Squeeze all of the moisture out of the thawed spinach (I use a potato ricer- it does a great job) and set aside.
• In heavy saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic and onion in butter until soft, about 15 or 20 minutes.
• Add flour and cook for 3 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in cream and stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Once it starts boiling add lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, cayenne pepper and Romano Cheese, stirring until the cheese had melted.
• Remove from heat and add sour cream and then fold in spinach and artichoke hearts.
• Transfer to a baking dish and sprinkle cheddar on top.
• Bake until cheese has melted or if your baking dish is broiler proof broil until cheese had melted and is slightly browned on top.

CHEESY SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Lightly oil a small baking dish. Tip the defrosted spinach into a sieve set over the sink and press down with the back of a large spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
• Whisk the soft cheese, soured cream and mayonnaise together in a medium bowl until well-combined. Add the garlic, most of the cheeses, all the spinach and the artichokes. Season with black pepper and fold everything together to combine.
• Spoon the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a day. Bake for 25-30 mins until bubbling and golden. If you like an extra-crisp top, flash under a hot grill for the final few minutes of cooking time. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then serve with tortilla chips and crudités.
