Artichoke Cheese Dip

1 15-oz can artichoke hearts, chopped (and drained)
12 oz mozzarella cheese
1 cup mayo
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced (I usually add a lot more though!)
1 Tbsp fresh parsely, chopped
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Mix everything together. Plop it in a small baking dish. Bake at 325 F for about 45 min or until hot, bubbly, and cheese looks yummy!

Re: I am a DIP

I have to post my favorite dip...I think I find reasons to post it now, lol
Buffalo Chicken Dip
@ 1 lb chicken breast
8 oz blue cheese dressing
8 oz cream cheese
4 oz cheddar
hot sauce to taste ( I use Frank's extra hot, @ 1/2 cup) I like it hot

Cook the chicken ( I boil it)
shred the chicken
lay it in a 8x8 baking pan
pour hot sauce over it, mix it together
leave it in the fridge for about an hour or not at all
layer the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing on top
grate or thinly slice cheddar and layer that also
bake @ 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or thoroughly melted
mix it all together
eat it with dipping type things (celery, etc)

Re: I am a DIP

my coworkers go nuts over this one especially with red bell peppers and jicama surrounding it...
my herbs should be poking up through the ground soon so I can start planning to make this again .. I find Asian markets have great piles of fresh herbs for very low prices ..like basil for a dollar a huge bag!
so in the food processor (I am too tired to pound right now)

good sized handfull of fresh parsley or mint or cillantro (any green leafy herb you like will do for this)
good sized handful of chives or green onions or one fresh shallot
chop these up fine then add

1 8 oz package of cream cheese
1 cup of sour cream
juice of a lime and some of the zest

salt fresh cracked pepper (lots of pepper) and a tsp or so of a good New Mexican chile (or whatever hot red pepper you can find ..hot paprika is good as well)
I add one of these packets of Sazon as well it is magic for dips! (I should do a comercial for this stuff I really love it!) but if you dont have it or use it the dip is fine with out it ....
Just hit the food processor button hard and let this all come together until it is smooth and creamy

this is to die for ...I am sure I posted this before..but oh well I just thought of making it again ...

if I take this fatty yummy dip to work with a pile of veggies I am content for the rest of the day!!! So are the people I work with ...

enjoy and keep them coming ..we have some really good dip recipes here I know!!!

Re: I am a DIP

This is similar to the first one you posted Heidi, it's called Tyrokavteri, I usually buy the store bought one, because i'm lazy

• 2 or 3 roasted red peppers
• about 1 pound (450 gr) feta cheese, crumbled
• about 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
• 1 or 2 jalapeno or other hot peppers
• 2 tblsp (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
• food processor (preferred) or blender
• pita bread and/or vegetables for dipping

What to do:

Combine feta and 2 tblsp (30 ml) olive oil in the food processor and pulse until creamy. Add roasted and jalapeno peppers and black pepper to taste and pulse until well combined, gradually adding the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. http://everything2.com/index.pl?node...&lastnode_id=0

I'm also a huge fan of olive tapenades:

• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1-3/4 cups whole, pitted olives (kalamata, black, green; use your favorite)
• 1 anchovy fillet, rinsed
• 2 Tbsp. capers
• 1 tsp. chpped fresh thyme OR 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
• 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 6 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/8 tsp. white pepper

PREPARATION:

Combine garlic, olives, anchovies, capers, thyme, rosemary and lemon juice in an electric blender or bowl of a food processor. Slowly add the olive oil into the mixture while blending or processing. Blend until a paste is formed.

Re: I am a DIP

Just found this thread and I can't wait to try some of these recipes. That last one Heidi posted sounds great. And I'm practically drooling thinking about the buffalo chicken dip!
