        <content>I'm looking for an artichoke spread recipe that doesn't call for cream cheese. I'd like to duplicate a warm artichoke &amp; ale appetizer at Barley's Taproom (pizza chain in the TN/NC/SC). I love it because it's not heavy with lots of cheese...although, don't get me wrong, cheese has never felt unwelcome on my plate!

Thanks!  </content>

you can also add spinach to this.  yummy!  can leave out parm, but i love it!

also try this using mayo not cream cheese (has ale component)

      <content>Yep, this is how to do it. My mom (and thus I) add some sliced pickled jalape&#241;os. It's just about the best thing in the world. </content>

      <content>A party favorite is 1 can artichoke hearts, 1 C mayo, 4oz. Feta (i use garlic herb), 1tsp oregano, 1 crushed garlic clove. Mix together, spread in a shallow small (salad plate size) dish. Sprinkle sliced almonds all over the top. Bake 350 for 30mins.  YUM. </content>

1 can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

      <content>I've done it with a small package of frozen, thawed and squeezed well of all excess water.  Maybe a little extra mayo and sour cream if it seems too thick.  This is a very versatile recipe.  Great with shredded whole milk mozzarella or pepper jack too.  Just throw in a handful.  This also reheats well, but I doubt you'll have leftovers.</content>

      <content>agree with oh robin on spinach 
note, compensate for marinated artichokes by reducing fat accordingly.  on another thread, someone complained about greasiness with mayo.  important to use canned, unmarinated artichokes if recipe says.  or reduce mayo!</content>

      <content>use frozen, leave it in box and zap it in its own box with maybe a tablespoon of water, for maybe 2 minutes.  then let it cool and squish/press/wring all the moisture out. somehow it is easier to get the most moisture out after it is slightly cooked.

ps, have hounds noticed that boxed chopped frozen spinach is more consistently and evenly chopped than the bagged "chopped" spinach?</content>

Mix all together, spread in shallow baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes @ 350.</content>

      <content>I have 2 standard Artichoke dips that i go to, one is dairy based, and one is vegan...

Dairy:
Canned or jarred artichokes
mayo
parmesan
garlic
s&amp;p
dash of cayenne
optional: crushed crackers for top, paprika for browning

Vegan: (believe me, surprisingly tasty!
Artichokes
Raw almonds, soaked and skins removed
pine nuts
garlic cloves
lemon juice
s&amp;p

send it thru the processor...can be served as is, or baked in the oven until warm

its a good recipe to have on hand since i have so many people with food "needs"</content>

      <content>JAMES BARBER STYLE-The Urban Peasant
Had only 3 marinated artichokes left in the jar so I added chopped spinach a clove of grated garlic, a handful of parmesiano, a measure of mayo, dash of dijon mustard and the meat of 5 crushed walnuts and nod or three of tabassco . finally, if you have it, a couple of drops of mesquite flavoured liquid smoke ( I use it in my pork rib  sauce recipes) and mixed together.
Pretasted before going into the oven for a quick roast. it was irresistable.!
Now awaiting it's arrival, with frenzied anticipation, from the oven.
Thanks so much for this thread,buckeye mary. It was inspirational.
Can't wait.
Btw, was there any ale in the dip or was that the just "whistle wiper"?

      <content>TSQ75 - your Vegan version sounds great; I love anything with pine nuts! I'll have to try that, maybe adding a splash of beer and parmesan to try duplicating my original recipe request. 

Thanks!</content>

      <content>The vegan version does look good!

Could you estimate the proportion of almonds to artichokes?  

I dont really measure when I cook, but I'm pretty unfamilar with vegan recipes. I'm guessing the almonds are important for creaminess?</content>

1 Celery stalk; finely chopped

      <content>I make a really easy artichoke spread using the jarred marinated chokes. All I do is hand chop them finely along with a couple of roasted red peppers, a handful of parsley, some olive oil and  a squeeze of lemon. It is somewhat like an olive tappenade not one of those disgusting gloppy cheesy artichoke dips. Really good with pita bread!</content>
