Artichoke Dip for Smoking Duck

Gizmo · 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.

Q,

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I gots a reputation to uphold ;) ;D

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

I know..........and I never win at cards :'(

The wife did enjoy the dip though (and no, I wasn't referring to myself as the "dip" ;D)

28 years ago my new bride stated she didn't like garlic and didn't want it cooked in the house. I said i did and it would be cooked and if she didn't like it there was the door..... O how i love garlic. PS: she is still here and there has been no other comments regarding garlic.........
