Gouda's Kicka$$ Artichoke Dip

Gouda's Kicka$$ Artichoke Dip

Okay this is the recipe I grew up on at a local eatery in my hometown. I made it at Thanksgiving and it was enough for about 8 people. I cut up pita bread into wedges, but it was mighty tasty w/ pita chips AND tortilla chips.

8 oz Artichoke hearts - drained (honestly I would've added another can)
6 oz of Asiago/Parm cheese
6 oz of washed and dried fresh spinach (I just did one of those baby spinach dole salad bags)
1/2 pint of half-half
20 oz of sour cream
24 oz of cream cheese
8 oz of whipping cream

Dump into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.

I then dumped it into a crockpot and it was all yummy and bubbly w/in a few hours

Szug (Yemenite 'Pesto')


Here are the recipes than ran in the Food section in 2001 that the staff deems most worthy of an encore.

Hands on time: 5 minutes Total time: 5 minutes Serves: 32

Ingredients:

    2 bunches cilantro
    1 bunch parsley
    4 to 5 cloves garlic, peeled
    2 serrano or 4 Thai chile peppers, stemmed
    1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra if needed
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt)
    Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions:

Cut and discard the heavy, leafless stems from the cilantro and parsley. Wash and pat dry. Place in blender with the garlic, chile peppers, olive oil, cumin, pepper, salt and lemon juice. Blend at low speed, stopping often to smash down the ingredients until they amalgamate.
Turn up speed and blend thoroughly. Place in a storage container, taste and adjust salt, and top with a little oil as you would pesto. Makes 1 pint. Lasts for a month if stored in an airtight container.
