ARTICHOKE AND CRAB SPREAD



Artichoke and Crab Spread image

I bought a similar spread at the grocery store a while back, and I thought that I could do it better and cheaper myself. You can use imitation crab, instead of the real thing if you like. I use cooked and frozen artichoke hearts or you can buy fresh artichokes, and cook the hearts up yourself.

Tips:

  • Use fresh artichokes. Fresh artichokes have a more delicate flavor and texture than canned or frozen artichokes.
  • Cook the artichokes properly. Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of different cheeses, such as cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese, will create a more complex and flavorful spread.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, and paprika, will add flavor to the spread.
  • Don't overmix the spread. Overmixing the spread will make it tough.
  • Serve the spread chilled. Artichoke crab spread is best served chilled.
