Title: Artichoke Dip for Smoking Duck
Post by: Gizmo on January 09, 2009, 08:41:02 PM
Here you go Duck,
Artichoke Dip

1 can of Artichoke Hearts (drained and chopped)
1 can of green chillies (4 oz.)
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 cup of Parmesan cheese
blend everything together in a food processor
bake at 350 deg for 1/2 hour.

You can add 1- 10 oz. package of chopped spinach, drained to this as well if you want the extra vitamins and Popeye muscles.

This is a very good and simple dip.  Has been well received by many a guests as the Gizmo House.  Was one of the items offered in the original So Cal Smoke Out.

Giz, that dip sounds awesome.  We will be having a "treat day" at work in a couple weeks;  I may just have to make this.

Ya know...I have made artichoke dips (with and w/o spinach) in the past...and if I were going to do garlic...it would only be a hint...artichokes are rather delicate in flavor...and if it's an artichoke dip...they should be the star...just my HO.

OK, for me, just a hint of garlic would be like...........4 cloves  :o  But, I'll forego the garlic (or maybe just use half a clove minced real fine.)  In my household, garlic is the international symbol of love.  Whenever I cook with garlic, the wife knows, which is just about every day, unless I'm tired  ;D  Unfortunately, she doesn't agree with garlic being the international symbol so just ignores me.  Maybe I should try a little psychological love warfare and use none at all and keep her guessing?  Love is such a mysterious thing  ;D

OK, Q.....the chokes and me are the star of the show tonight  ;D

Is that why you're called "Father Tom" now?  You're celibate?  Cause if I said that to the wife, I would be celibate  ;D

I think you know, Q, that if I said that to the wife, I'd be celibate.  Heck, she'd go all Lorena Bobbitt on me  :o

Sorry i didn't get back sooner but business called and i had to fly away for a while.  The situation was strained for a while (week or so) but returned to normal (Whatever that is) shortly.  No that is not why they call me Father Tom. Would tell you on private line.................
