| 1 Bunch Spinach - thick stems trimmed | |
| 1 Large Shallot - finely chopped | |
| 1 Garlic Clove - finely grated | |
| 113g Cream Cheese | |
| 120ml Sour Cream | |
| 120ml Mayo | |
| 280g Package Frozen Artichoke Hearts - Thawed, chopped | |
| ¾ cup Parmesan - Grated |
| 1. | Preheat oven to 200°C. Cook spinach in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water until wilted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain spinach, squeezing out excess liquid, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and use the towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. Be thorough and use some muscle; water from the spinach will make the dip thin and runny (not what you want). Transfer spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop. |
| 2. | Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until pan begins to look dry, about 2 minutes; season spinach with salt and pepper. Let cool. |
| 3. | Pulse cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a food processor, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until combined and smooth. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and fold in artichoke hearts, Parmesan, and spinach mixture; season with salt and pepper. |
| 4. | Scrape mixture into a 0.75 L (1-qt.) baking dish and bake until golden brown on top, 20–25 minutes. Let dip cool slightly. Serve with crackers, chips, toast, or—dare we say it?—a vegetable. |
