Categories     appetizer

Time 18m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves or 2 teaspoons dried
1/2 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup half-and- half or heavy cream
1 can (15 ounces) artichoke hearts in water, drained and coarsely chopped
2 boxes, 10 ounces each, chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry in kitchen towel
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian 4 cheese blend (provolone, Parmesan, mozzarella and Asiago) available in 10-ounce pouches on the dairy aisle of your market
Salt and pepper
1 round loaf crusty bread: top removed and cubed, bottom hollowed out to use as serving bowl
1 loaf multigrain or whole wheat baguette, sliced at bakery/bread counter in market

Steps:

  • To a medium saucepot preheated over moderate heat, add about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add butter to oil. When butter melts, add garlic and onions to the pot. Sprinkle in thyme leaves. Saute 2 minutes, add chopped red pepper. Saute mixture a minute more. Sprinkle in flour, stir to coat vegetables. Cook flour 1 minute. Whisk in wine and reduce by half. Whisk in stock and thicken sauce 1 minute. Stir in half-and-half or cream. When sauce returns to a bubble, add artichokes, spinach and cheeses. Keep stirring until cheeses melt and sauce is well combined. Add salt and pepper and adjust seasonings, to your taste.
  • Pour dip into hollow bread bowl on serving platter and surround with sliced multi or whole grain bread for dipping. Reserve extra dip to warm and refill as necessary. Cut up bread bowl when baguette slices are gone -- the bowl is the best part as it absorbs juices from the dip.

Easy Steamed Artichokes with Tarragon Butter image

Martha made this recipe on Cooking School episode 307.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons, halved
3 large globe artichokes
1 bunch tarragon
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarse salt
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Make a bowl of acidulated water: Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into bowl along with the lemon halves; set aside.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut off 1/2 inch from the top of an artichoke. Remove any small leaves from the bottom and trim stem so artichoke can stand upright. Use kitchen shears to trim sharp tips of artichoke leaves. Transfer to acidulated water, and repeat with remaining artichokes.
  • Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and add tarragon and a pinch of salt. Set steamer basket in pot, making sure water doesn't seep through holes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer.
  • Place artichokes stem side up in steamer and season with salt. Cover pot and steam until bottoms of artichokes are very tender when pierced to the center with the tip of a paring knife, about 40 minutes. (Add more hot water if necessary to maintain level during cooking.)
  • To make the tarragon butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in chopped tarragon and lemon juice, and season with salt.
  • Place an artichoke on each plate, remove the center leaves and with a spoon gently scrape down to the heart. Serve with lemon wedges and warm tarragon butter on the side for dipping.

STEAMED ARTICHOKES WITH TARRAGON MAYONNAISE



Steamed Artichokes with Tarragon Mayonnaise image

Artichokes can be steamed and chilled in advance and served with tarragon-flecked mayonnaise as a simple starter.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lemons
6 to 8 artichokes
1/4 cup water
2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Squeeze juice of 1 lemon into a large bowl of cold water.
  • Trim stem of 1 artichoke flush with bottom. Snap off outer leaves. Using kitchen shears, cut off tips of remaining leaves. Place in lemon water. Repeat.
  • Drain artichokes, and place in a pot in a single snug layer (in batches if necessary). Add 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and steam until tender, about 35 minutes. Remove from pot. Let cool. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, zest and juice remaining lemon. Whisk zest, 2 tablespoons juice, the mayonnaise, tarragon, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve alongside artichokes.

Tips:

  • Prep Artichoke Hearts Properly: Before using, trim the tough outer leaves and choke from the artichoke hearts. You can use canned or jarred artichoke hearts, but fresh ones are preferable for a better flavor and texture.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh herbs, creamy cream cheese, and flavorful Parmesan cheese.
  • Control the Heat: Be careful not to overcook the artichoke dip. Cook it over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through. Overcooking can cause the dip to become rubbery.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When sautéing the shallots and garlic, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the dip before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Conclusion:

This hot artichoke and tarragon dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer perfect for any gathering. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and hint of tarragon, it's sure to be a hit. Serve it with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or vegetable crudités for dipping. For a more indulgent experience, top it with additional Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon. Whether you're hosting a party or just enjoying a quiet evening at home, this dip is a delightful treat that will satisfy your cravings.
