Tips:
- Choose the right artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: To remove the choke, use a spoon to scoop it out from the center of the artichoke.
- Marinate the artichokes: Marinating the artichokes in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses, such as Parmesan, mozzarella, and fontina.
- Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be heated through, but not boiling. Overcooking will make the dip tough and chewy.
- Serve the dip warm: Florentine artichoke dip is best served warm, with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetables.
