Artichoke Black Olive Dip Recipes

SPINACH, OLIVE AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a shallow 2-quart baking dish (round or rectangular) with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
• In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, olives, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, Pecorino and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Then add the garlic, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse to roughly chop.
• Place dough balls around the edge of the prepared baking dish. Fill the center of the dish with the dip, spreading to even. Press any remaining dough balls into the top of the dip. Brush the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and then sprinkle the dough and the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip is bubbling and the rolls are golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

OLIVE ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Transfer to an ungreased 1-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Serve with bread or chips.

ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE FARRO SALAD

Steps:

• Set aside a sheet pan or a large plate. Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the farro and give it a stir. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook according to package instructions, skimming off any foam that rises, until the grains are tender and plump. Depending on the type of farro used, this can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Drain the farro and transfer to the sheet pan or plate; spread out and cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. (If the farro is left to cool in the strainer, it will keep cooking, take longer to cool and turn mushy.)
• Transfer the farro to a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, oil and ½ teaspoon salt, and stir to combine. Add the olives, artichoke, feta, dill, red onion and chives, and season with black pepper to taste. Stir and taste. Add more salt, vinegar and oil, as needed.
• Serve right away or store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The farro will absorb the vinegar and oil the longer it sits. Adjust seasoning, vinegar and oil before serving.

ARTICHOKE AND GREEN OLIVE DIP

Steps:

• Drain artichoke hearts and rinse in cool water.
• Pat them dry with paper towels and place in a food processor with olive oil, lemon juice and garlic.
• Puree until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in green olives.
• Season with pepper to taste.

• Before serving, stir in the chopped parsley.

ARTICHOKE OLIVE DIP WITH FENNEL CRUDITES

• Serve dip with fennel.
