Difficulty: Beginner Prep Time 15 mins Total Time 15 mins

Cooking Temp: 200  °C Servings: 4

Ingredients

Servings

• 200 g drained artichoke hearts
• 2 tbsp mayonaise
• 25 g grated parmesan (or grand padana)
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Using a blender coarsely mince the artichoke hearts. Remove from the blender and put in a mixing bowl.

   

2. Add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

   If your artichokes come in brine you will need less salt

3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Taste to check for seasoning.

4. Transfer the artichoke dip to a small oven-proof dish. 

   
   The oven-proof dish should be wide and shallow - the one I used measured 13cm in diameter and 3 cm deep

5. When ready to eat pre-heat an oven to 200ºC. 

6. Cook the dip for about 30 minutes until the dip is bubbling slightly and the top is starting to brown.

7. Serve hot with crusty bread.
