Spinach Artichoke Dip from fresh artichokes.
On the list of all time greatest dips, Spinach Artichoke Dip falls somewhere near the top. But making GOOD spinach & artichoke dip can be tricky. You need nice melty cheese that’s not greasy and you want to taste the spinach and artichokes, but you don’t want a watery dip. I’ll address all of those things in this most holy of dip recipes.

FOR THIS RECIPE, YOU’LL NEED:
FOR THE DIP
β’ 4 fresh artichokes, cleaned (or 1 can, drained)
β’ 1 lemon
β’ salt
β’ 2 tbsp olive oil
β’ 2 bags or 500g fresh spinach
β’1g or tsp salt (for spinach)
β’ 225g or 1 c softened cream cheese
β’ 110g or 1/2c mayo
β’ 110g or 1/2c sour cream
β’ 65g shallot (about 1 large shallot, minced)
β’ 2 cloves garlic, minced
β’ 40g or 1/2c parmesan, grated
β’ 2g or 1/2 tsp salt
β’ 2g or 1 tsp pepper
β’ 3g or 1.5 tsp chile flake
β’ 10g or 2 1/8 tsp lemon juice
β’ 120g or 1c shredded cheese grated on large holes of box grater (i like any of the following combos: pepperjack and smoked gouda, mozzarella and aged gruyere, or pepperjack and white cheddar)
Clean artichokes removing all outer leaves and cutting off green around the step. Remove thistle from the center (see video for how to clean artichokes). Place each cleaned artichoke heart in lemon water to keep them from browning until you’re ready to poach. To poach the artichokes, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, salt liberally, and poach/boil for 6-8 minutes. a cake tester should poke through with very little resistance when cooked. Chop into small pieces.
Preheat 2 tbsp olive oil in large pot over high heat. Add fresh spinach and salt. Cook down until just wilted. Place cooked spinach between layers of paper towels or kitchen towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer spinach to a cutting board and run a knife through it 4-5 times.
Into the bowl of a food processor, add cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, shallot, garlic, grated parmesan, 2 g salt, 2g pepper, chile flake, lemon juice, and 1/2 of shredded cheese blend. Blend to combine for 15-20 seconds. Add well-drained chopped spinach and pulse to combine. Add artichokes and pulse to combine. Combine the rest of the way by hand using a rubber spatula.
To bake, preheat oven to 450 f (232 c) degrees f. Scoop dip into four 4-oz ramekins or into an metal 8″x8″ or 9″x9″ baking pan. Top with remaining half of shredded cheese and bake for 18.22 minutes.
