PALEO RECIPE
CREAMY ARTICHOKE DIP
I am so excited to announce that my friend Rach from Meatified has put together an amazing book called Nourish: The Paleo Healing Cookbook
This book features over 120 nutrient-dense paleo and AIP friendly recipes that are designed to help reduce inflammation and ease autoimmune symptoms. From the Baked Swedish Meatballs, Caramelized Brussels Sprouts to the amazing Pork Belly Carnitas, there is something for everyone in this cookbook!
And now, here's a little something from Rach about her delicious dip!
"This dip doesn't need dairy or coconut products to replicate the creaminess of this much-beloved appetizer. In fact, this recipe uses even more vegetables than normal to create the smooth, delicious, scoopable texture… which means we just won’t tell any tiny humans how good for them this recipe really is! This recipe is such a crowd-pleaser that I usually make it in a double batch, like I did here, so feel free to scale the recipe down to suit you, if needed."

Paleo Creamy Artichoke DipYield: 1 ¾ cups (420 g)
|

 |
Ingredients:
1 tbsp (15 ml) coconut or avocado oil
1/3 cup (45 g) diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (120 g) peeled summer squash
¾ cup Chicken Broth
6 oz (170 g) drained jarred artichoke hearts
2 tbsp (8 g) nutritional yeast
½ tsp ground mace
6 oz (170 g) package of frozen spinach, thawed
Directions:
SOFTEN: Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic to the pan while you peel and chop the summer squash. Cut the summer squash into pieces that are the same size as the diced onion, then add to the pan and stir to coat with the oil. Cook until the squash is tender, stirring occasionally so the squash doesn’t brown, about 10 minutes.
BLEND: Transfer the softened vegetables to a blender and add the chicken broth. Gently squeeze the artichoke hearts to release any excess water before you weigh them out. Add the artichoke hearts, nutritional yeast and mace to the blender – process until you have a thick, smooth, “creamy” sauce.
SIMMER: Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and return to the stove top at a low heat. Drain the spinach and squeeze out any excess water, then chop finely. Stir the frozen spinach into the sauce and simmer until the dip is warmed through. The dip probably won’t need any additional salt because of the artichoke hearts, but taste now and add any extra salt if you wish. Serve the dip warm and enjoy.
