cold artichoke dip??

[jennykrause]

Looking to emulate a Portland Zupans Market dip with artichokes and jalapenos. Not interested in the hot artichoke /parm/mayo version. Any ideas??

[chefsmom]

1 cup mayo, 1 cup good parmesan, finely grated (by good, I mean not the stuff in the green container), 1 can drained, chopped artichokes (you could also use marinated ones if it is going to be cold). I put some tabasco to taste. It can also be warmed up. All my recipes are the same whether hot or cold. With the warning about jalapenos out, I might leave them out, or use some of the pickled ones in a jar.

what else was in the version u r looking to get?

[jennykrause]

well, it defintely has either a cream cheese, mayo or sour cream base and could very well have some parm cheese in it. the key, though, is that I want it as a cold dip....

You might do better in the Home Cooking forum. That said, do you have (or can you get) an ingredients list? As to the importance of it being a cold dip, I'm going to guess that's a texture/density thing? Costco sometimes carries an artichoke/jalapeno dip that everyone seems to love but it is awfully dense and is probably served heated most of the time. Probably heavy on the cream cheese as opposed to the sour cream. Maybe just find a recipe for a hot dip that looks about right and tweak it using more sour cream?
