I have never eaten artichoke, and to be honest it’s because it doesn’t look that appealing!
However, I was introduced to this yummy dip a couple of weeks ago by our American friend Sally. I was very sceptical about trying it but gosh it’s now my new fav! If you can get past how it looks, you will love it. It’s so easy and apart from the artichoke the other ingredients you generally have in the fridge.
Ingredients
1 jar of artichoke hearts 340gms
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Drain and chop up the artichoke hearts, add the mayonnaise and parmesan cheese and mix well. Spread mixture into a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 mins until bubbly and golden brown – it’s as easy as that! You can add some chopped jalepenos, finely chopped onion, rocket/spinach, green peppers or roasted garlic.
Serve with halved and then quartered pita breads oiled and then roasted in the oven – perfect!
