FRESH SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP (AKA SHEEP DIP)
Adapted from Best of the Best from Colorado, this recipe is so named, according to their description, because the recipe poster's father was a sheep rancher. This is supposedly a best selling recipe on the menu at River City Cafe in Colorado. I have not tried this yet, but since any spinach dip calling for fresh spinach appeals to me, I wanted to share it. This is very different from the usual spinach dips. I have never seen another version quite like this one. I am guessing at the cook time, which I will update once I try this. This makes enough dip for your whole herd! ;). To me, this is perfect football party food!

SHEEP DIP (SHEEP DIP!)
This is from Ireland. Now I'm not sure when Ireland started making feta and ricotta cheeses but it's intro reads: "Cheeses made from sheep's milk are quite popular in Ireland, and this tasty concoction uses two - feta and ricotta. Whether your feta and ricotta come from the milk of sheep, cows, or goats, the mixture will be delicious."

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For the best flavor and texture, select a cut of lamb that is well-marbled. Good options include the leg, shoulder, or loin.
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb overnight in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, a yogurt-based marinade, or a more complex marinade made with herbs, spices, and citrus.
- Cook the lamb slowly: Lamb is a tough meat, so it is important to cook it slowly over low heat. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat tender. You can cook lamb in a variety of ways, such as roasting, braising, or stewing.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the lamb is cooked to the desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the lamb should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the lamb rest before carving: After cooking the lamb, let it rest for a few minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Sheep dip is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, sheep dip is sure to please. With its rich flavor and tender texture, sheep dip is a dish that is sure to become a favorite in your home.
