Categories     Spinach

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 lb asparagus (woody ends snapped off and cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 lb spinach, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup water
1 cup raw cashews
1 -3 tablespoon capers with brine
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat a large pan over medium heat (I use my big soup pot so I can fit all the spinach in at once). Saute the garlic in the oil for about a minute or until fragrant.
  • Add the asparagus and water, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-high and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus is bright green.
  • Add the spinach (in batches if necessary, covering the pan and letting the leaves wilt so there's room for more). Once all the spinach has wilted (about 3 minutes), cook uncovered for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the cashew, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor, and blend until cashews are small, coarse crumbs. Scrape down the sides to make sure you get everything.
  • When the spinach is cooked, add the veggies to the food processor, making sure to include all the garlic and any remaining liquid. Puree until relatively smooth. Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
  • Transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for a few hours. Serve with crackers, pretzel sticks, crudites, bread, etc. The sky's the limit. I think it would even make a good sauce for pasta.

REALLY GOOD VEGAN SPINACH TOFU DIP (EVEN IF YOU HATE TOFU/VEGAN



Really Good Vegan Spinach Tofu Dip (Even if You Hate Tofu/Vegan image

The olives really make this dip - don't omit them! :) I'm a diehard carnivore, but I was going to a potluck and wanted to bring a cheap, egg-free, dairy-free dish in case there were allergies or vegetarians there. I took about six recipes off the Internet, combined them and added a few more things, and it was great! I let it sit in the fridge for two days and just re-mixed it before serving. At the potluck, there was not a single vegetarian there, and they all liked this dip. Cayenne and grated carrot would probably be great in this and make it a more "traditional" spinach dip. You may want to start with less garlic if you're not a big fan.
