Yield makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 artichokes, tough outer leaves removed, stems and tops of leaves trimmed
5 lemons
2 cups tightly packed baby spinach
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
1 whole-wheat baguette (9 ounces), cut on the diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place artichokes in a large stockpot; cover with water by 3 inches. Halve 4 lemons; squeeze juice into water, and add rinds. Bring to a boil. Cover; cook 20 minutes. Transfer artichokes to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; let drain upside down. Let cool completely. Remove leaves, reserving 3 cups. For each artichoke, trim inner part to the heart; scrape out fuzzy choke, and discard, reserving heart.
  • Put spinach into a steamer basket set over boiling water. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze out water, and coarsely chop spinach.
  • Pulse artichoke hearts, the finely grated zest and juice of remaining lemon, the mayonnaise, shallot, garlic, ricotta, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until combined; season with pepper. Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Stir in spinach and 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining tablespoon mozzarella.
  • Heat dip in oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Preheat broiler. Broil dip until edges are bubbling and top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve dip with artichoke leaves and toasted baguette.

This dip is a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of cream cheese. It was still delicious!

This dip was a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding less milk next time.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and salt and it was much better.
