Mossy Swamp Dip Artichoke Spinach Recipes

MOSSY SWAMP DIP (ARTICHOKE-SPINACH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Thaw spinach and squeeze to get as dry as possible.
• Drain jar of marinated artichoke hearts and chop coarsely. Discard marinade.
• Thinly slice the green onions until you've cut up about 1/3 the green tops. Coarsely chop the remaining tops.
• Chop water chestnuts coarsely.
• Combine spinach, artichoke hearts, green onions, and water chestnuts in a large bowl until well mixed.
• Combine sour cream (use the real thing - lite sour cream doesn't do well in this recipe) and mayonnaise with garlic, pepper, and salt.
• Add cheeses, then blend this mixture together with the spinach mixture. Resulting dip will be very chunky.
• Pour into lightly greased baking dish and bake for 30-45 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly (if you're in a hurry, just nuke it for about 10 minutes -- it won't get crusty on top, but it will be hot and melty!).
• Sprinkle with red pepper sauce, paprika, and more cracked black peppers.
• Serve with hearty chips, large croutons, or over pasta!

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.

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.
