You guys probably know the best way in My opinion to do that is with some Garlic and I’m just going to get that Right in to my bowl And then I’m going to use my hand mixer To blend this all together you could Just as easily do this with a spoon if You wanted to but I find the hand mixer Just makes life a little bit easier in The kitchen so simple and it smells so Ultra garlicky I’m pretty excited Oh yeah come on tasting is the best part Right Next to this mixture I’m going to go Ahead and add my spinach so I’m using Some frozen spinach here and I just let It thaw completely and then run out all Of the excess moisture using a clean Kitchen towel it’s really important to Remove as much of the moisture as you Can from your spinach because it is Going to affect the final sort of Texture of your dip next of course Because this is spinach and artichoke Dip we need our artichokes and here I’m Using some artichoke hearts that have Been chopped up I’m using marinated Artichoke hearts I find those have the Best flavor and it will just tell you They come in like this really delicious Liquid that I actually like to set aside And use in my salad dressings because It’s actually Ultra flavorful but I
Digress so I’ve got my artichoke hearts I’ve drained them given them a quick Chop and I’m going to get them right Into my bowl as well Next I want to add a little bit of extra Decadence and cheesiness and Ooey Gooeyness to this dip and I’m going to Do that with some shredded mozzarella Cheese as well as some shredded parmesan Cheese Two of my favorite cheeses let’s be Honest I rarely need a cheese I don’t Like Now at this point I am ready just to Give this all a good stir I want to make Sure that my artichokes and my spinach Are really well combined and of course That cheese is very well distributed in This creamy mixture Now something to keep in mind is that Spinach and artichoke dip can Technically be served gold so you can Just enjoy this with a little bit of Baguette and it would be really really Tasty but I think we all can agree that It is best served piping hot out of the Oven so I’m going to transfer this to a Baking dish and get it right into the Oven until it’s nice and hot and bubbly And that’s where the real magic happens Now you really could use any oven safe Dish that you wanted to with this dip But today I’ve opted for my cast iron Skillet because I absolutely love how it
