Ingredients
-
1 medium red onion or several small spring onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
9 ounces fresh spinach. I like baby spinach in this dip.
1 jar of artichoke hearts, drained
4 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup plain, low or nonfat greek yogurt
1/4 cup parmesan and romano cheese, grated
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (more for added spicy goodness)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard powder or a tsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of hot sauce
Dash of coriander
Directions
-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees if you'd like this warm. It's great chilled too.
-Gently saute onions in a bit of olive oil 5-10 minutes or until caramelized.
-Add the artichokes and saute for one minute.
-Add the garlic and spinach and saute just until the spinach wilts.
-Put the spinach/artichoke mixture in a food processor and pulse to combine.
-Add cream cheese, yogurt, parmesan, cheddar cheese, and sour cream to the food processor and combine thoroughly. Reserve some of the shredded cheese for garnishing.
-Add the spices and process until everything is combined
-Bake in a lightly greased 8x8 baking dish (or a pie pan) for about 20 minutes or until bubbly. Alternatively, chill the dip for an hour or so and serve cold.
