CREAMY ARTICHOKE AND LEEK DIP



Creamy Artichoke and Leek Dip image

I was at my friend Kym's place yesterday and we shared some of this for lunch... it was so good, we ended up eating almost 3/4 of a box of crackers with this yummy dip! This recipe was originally from Homebasics.ca, but was altered slightly. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 3 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise or 1 cup Hellmann's light mayonnaise
1 (1 7/8 ounce) package Knorr Leek mix (the recipe recommends the 1.8 oz. pkg of Knorr Cream of Leek soup mix... but 'Zaar doesn't recognize)
1 cup sour cream
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 -2 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and spread into a 1 L casserole dish. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350ºF oven for approximately 30 minutes (or until heated).
  • Serve with sliced crusty French bread, crackers or tortilla chips.
  • (As my friend and I learned, this recipe is also wonderful served cold the next day - but we did find that it was a little oily [from the cheese], so make sure you mix it really well or drain off some of the oil if you're re-serving this.).
  • Note: I have no idea how many servings there actually are - I'm "guesstimating" 1/4 cup per person, but that's completely a guess!

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Vegetables: Use fresh artichokes and leeks for the best flavor and texture. Look for artichokes with tight, compact leaves and no blemishes. Choose leeks that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • Prepare the Vegetables Properly: To prepare the artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and choke. Cut the artichoke hearts into quarters. To prepare the leeks, trim off the root end and dark green tops. Slice the leeks thinly.
  • Cook the Vegetables Perfectly: Sauté the leeks in butter until they are soft and translucent. Add the artichoke hearts and cook until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of the dip. Use a creamy, flavorful cheese like Gruyère, Parmesan, or cream cheese.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to Taste: Once the dip is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Creamy artichoke and leek dip is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, flavorful texture and the perfect balance of artichoke and leek flavors, this dip is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
