Cheesy Artichoke Dip by Jean Carper

4 Reviews

“Here's an easy, lower-fat version of warm artichoke-cheese dip. In new research, artichoke hearts tested surprisingly high in antioxidant activity -- even more per cup than strawberries. Garlic and chives are high in antioxidants, too, and fat-free cottage cheese helps keep the fat and calorie counts down.” - by USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook artichokes according to package directions; chop roughly. Set aside.
In a food processor, mix all ingredients except artichokes and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Stir in artichokes. Pour mixture into a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
Bake for 30 minutes. If top hasn't browned, put under broiler.
Let sit for 15 minutes before serving (it may be watery when first removed from the oven). Serve with toasted whole-wheat pita chips.

"I made this dip for my book club last night. Unfortunately, it wasn't very well received. I think the main problem is that the goat cheese takes over the flavor and that comes as kind of a surprise..." See more (given that it isn't called "GOAT cheesey artichoke dip." I cooked it exactly according to the directions, but it came out kind of dry and crumbly - probably because of the consistency of the goat cheese. If you are a big fan of goat cheese, you'd probably like it, but not if you are expecting your average artichoke dip."

"Really really good especially with the dill flavor. I substituted the artichokes for 'spicy' artichokes - a little added kick...." See more"

"Very good. Very easy to make. I had non-herbed got cheese and marinated artichokes (which I rinsed) and it still turned out really well. My husband said to decrease the mayo next time, but I think ..." See moreit tastes good. As a previous reviewer noted, there is a strong goat cheese taste. This is a positive for me, but if you're not crazy about that flavor you may not enjoy this. I really liked it overall."
