ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer.
- Combine 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly 5 to 6 minutes for a blond roux. Whisk in the milk and bring the liquid up to a boil. Season the liquid with salt and cayenne. Simmer the liquid for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the liquid is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheeses. Set the sauce aside.
- In a saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in handfuls of spinach at a time, until all the spinach is incorporated. Add the garlic and artichoke and saute for 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt and cayenne. Remove the vegetables from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Fold the cheese sauce into the vegetables. Turn the mixture into a baking pan. Bake the dip for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Fry the tortilla chips, batches at a time, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the chips are golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the chips with the dip.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the stems from the artichokes to leave a neat, flat base. Lay each artichoke on its side, and cut away the upper third with a sharp knife. With kitchen shears, remove the prickly leaf tips from each remaining leaf. Rub the cut sides and bottom with a lemon slice, squeezing lemon juice onto the cut areas and set aside.
- Place the prepared artichokes, lemon slices, crab boil and bay leaves in the boiling water and simmer, partially covered, until the bottom is tender and can be pierced with a sharp knife and an outer leaf pulls out easily, about 25 minutes.
- Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
- To the onion pan, add the garlic and oregano and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, lemon zest, Parmesan, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Mix well and adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Drain the artichokes upside down in a colander.
- When the artichokes are cool enough to handle, press the leaves gently back so that the artichoke opens to reveal the inner choke and prickly leaves. Pull out the cone of undeveloped white leaves and gently scrape out the choke with a spoon so as not to damage the heart. Gently pull the leaves outward from the center until the leaves open slightly.
- Fill the artichoke cavities with bread stuffing, and pack a little bit into the space between the leaves.
- Place the artichokes in an earthenware baking dish and drizzle the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the dish and place in oven. Bake until the artichokes are golden brown and the bread crumbs develop a nice crust, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle some grated Parmesan. Serve with additional lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Make sure the spinach is well-drained before adding it to the mixture to avoid excess moisture.
- Use fresh artichoke hearts for the best flavor and texture. If using canned artichoke hearts, rinse them well before using.
- Don't overcook the stuffing. It should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
- For extra flavor, add a cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture.
- If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crumbled cornbread or crackers instead.
- This stuffing can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
