@nutstoyounutbutter has re-imaged this typically indulgent dip by using nuts and vegetables so you can savour it and feel good! The perfect appetizer that everyone at your party can enjoy.
Yield: 8–10 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small white onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 big handfuls of spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ cup Nuts to You Cashew Butter
- 1 cup water
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup chopped marinated artichokes (we used two 6 oz jars)
- 2 Tbsp bread crumbs
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400⁰F. Use an 8- or 9-inch oven-safe dish, or cook in a cast-iron pan that can become the serving dish.
- To a pan on medium high heat, add 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and sauté the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and spinach. Cover and remove from heat to allow the spinach to wilt.
- Place the Cashew Butter, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, mustard and salt in a blender and combine until fully smooth.
- Add the cashew mixture, onion spinach mixture and artichokes into the baking dish. Stir to combine, and level with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot with crackers, bread or corn chips
