Garlic Artichoke Dip
// April 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Grub
Several posts ago, I discussed a new dip I had discovered and my dismay that I couldn’t find it again at my local specialty food store or online. I thought about trying to make it myself and I finally got around to it.
My creation was somewhat similar to the store version. I’m hoping once the mixture sits awhile, the flavors will meld together a little more. Initially there is a strong garlic taste which I like, but I’m hoping the artichoke comes through as well. I have a feeling I’ll have to try this again though.
As you can see from my picture, I used my small food chopper for this task because I was lazy and didn’t want to dirty my big food processor. I think next time I will have to bring out the big boy so that I can really get these two ingredients meshed together. The way I did it required me to process the garlic and artichokes in batches.
Garlic Artichoke Dip
4 cloves of garlic
1 can of artichokes
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper
In a food processor (big or small), add the garlic cloves and artichokes. Blend until everything is well chopped or mashed. Transfer to a bowl and add in the lemon juice. Taste the dip and add salt and pepper to your liking.
