I love artichoke dip for an easy appetizer that’s sure to have your guests grabbing the chip bag over and over. Artichoke and spinach recipe here

Ingredients
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
2 (13¾-ounce) cans artichoke hearts
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Heat the spinach in a microwave oven on high for 5 minutes and squeeze dry. Drain the artichoke hearts and coarsely chop in a food processor.

Combine all the ingredients except the jack cheese in a large bowl. Stir well. Scrape into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle the jack cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Transfer to a chafing dish and keep warm over a low flame. Serve with bagel chips.

Steamed with garlic aioli sauce to dip in.

Cut off the top. Steam it. Pull off the petals, dip in melted butter, eat them.

All the above; can use curry sauce, garlic sauce, any thickish sauce to dip the leaves in and eat.

Whole artichokes are my favorite. I used to think they took too long, but my friend taught me how to deal. Cut off the bottom of the stem and put the whole thing in a bowl with a bit of water and a half a squeezed lemon (throw the lemon half in the bowl too). Cover the bowl with a plate and put it in the microwave for 3–7 minutes (until a bottom leaf comes away easily). Mix the lemon water with sour cream and add a bit of garlic salt and hot sauce. Pull off the leaves, dip and say “Yum!”

We use frozen artichoke hearts, halved, on top of home-made pizza, along with onions, garlic, tomatoes, broccoli, sauce and no cheese.

I keep jars of them in a marinade and eat them, from the jar, with a fork, as a snack.
