VEGAN SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Soak, covered with 1 inch of very hot water for 5 - 10 minutes to help soften them up so they blend ultra creamy. If you have nut sensitivities, soak the cashews in cool water for 2 - 3 hours to aid in digestion.
• Dice the artichoke hearts and prep the spinach.
• Using your favorite blender, add the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and liquids to the bowl and process until nice and smooth, about 3 minutes or so. Taste for flavor, adding more of anything as needed.
• In a small or medium sized baking dish, add the spinach and artichoke hearts, pour the cashew cheese overtop and mix to combine. Wipe along the rim of the baking dish before baking for clean finish if you like.
• Place in the oven, covered for 10 minutes, remove cover and bake another 10 minutes. Feel free to adjust the cover at any time to your preference (for me, sometimes I leave it covered the entire time).
• Serve as is or give a good stir before serving. This dip is great warm or at room temperature, and is delicious scooped up with a sliced baguette or homemade crusty bread, pita chips, crackers or fresh vegetable sticks.
• Would be great with a light dusting of Almond Parmesan too!
• Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, in a covered container. Reheat in preheated oven set to 375 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

• Add the olive oil to a pan along with the chopped onion, crushed garlic and rosemary and sauté until the onions are softened.
• Then remove half the onions from the frying pan and place them into the blender jug along with the cream cheese mixture and blend again. Leave it in the blender again and set aside.
• Add the marinated artichokes to the frying pan with the remaining onions and sauté, letting the artichokes break up as you fry them with the onions. When the artichokes are softened then add in all the spinach and fry it with the artichokes and onions until wilted.

VEGAN SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a cast iron skillet (mine is about 6 inches in diameter) or ramekin.
• Combine all of the ingredients for the blender mixture in a blender or food processor, scraping down the sides as needed and blending until completely smooth. Strain using a nut milk bag if needed. Set aside.
• In a wide skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil of medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic, chili flakes, pepper, and paprika and stir. Cook for another 1 minute or until fragrant.
• Give the reserved blender mixture another stir and then add it to the pan. Stir every few seconds, making sure to scrape around the bottom of the saucepan to keep from sticking. The mixture will start to get chunky in places; when you see this happening, start to stir constantly until the mixture smooths out again and becomes one cohesive, somewhat stretchy mass.
• Add the spinach and artichoke hearts to the pan and stir in as best you can. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes more or until the spinach pieces wilt a little bit.
• Taste the mixture for salt and add more if desired. Transfer to the prepared dish and smooth out. For improved browning, lightly spray or brush the top with additional olive oil. If you have a broiler, bake for 10 minutes and then broil on high for another 3-4 minutes, until nice and browned and bubbly on top. If you don't have a broiler, bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until slightly crusty and light brown on top.
• Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes so that nobody burns their mouths, and then serve hot.
