Rachael Ray Spinach And Artichoke Dip No Mayo Or Cream Cheese Recipes

RACH'S TAKE ON SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP IS THE EASIEST VERSION EVER

Steps:

• Turn on broiler for dip or preheat oven to 400˚F for pizzas
• Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat with olive oil, add garlic and stir a minute
• Add spinach and season with salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, nutmeg (Rach uses her multi-grater), lemon zest, add artichokes and heat, add cheeses, yogurt and lemon juice and melt ingredients into a uniform thick but even mixture, broil to brown, or top bread or chicken and add more cheeses, bake to brown and bubbly at 400˚F
• To serve, spread finished dip on focaccia, flatbreads or cooked chicken breast cutlets, or use pita crisps, potato chips or red pepper planks for dipping

STOVETOP SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• To a medium saucepot preheated over moderate heat, add about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add butter to oil. When butter melts, add garlic and onions to the pot. Sprinkle in thyme leaves. Saute 2 minutes, add chopped red pepper. Saute mixture a minute more. Sprinkle in flour, stir to coat vegetables. Cook flour 1 minute. Whisk in wine and reduce by half. Whisk in stock and thicken sauce 1 minute. Stir in half-and-half or cream. When sauce returns to a bubble, add artichokes, spinach and cheeses. Keep stirring until cheeses melt and sauce is well combined. Add salt and pepper and adjust seasonings, to your taste.
• Pour dip into hollow bread bowl on serving platter and surround with sliced multi or whole grain bread for dipping. Reserve extra dip to warm and refill as necessary. Cut up bread bowl when baguette slices are gone -- the bowl is the best part as it absorbs juices from the dip.

BAKED SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP WITHOUT MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place thawed spinach in a kitchen towel; wrap tightly to squeeze out excess water until spinach is just damp. Set aside.
• Mix cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add artichoke hearts, drained spinach, hot sauce, and garlic; mix well. Add in 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese; mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with extra cheese if you like a crispy, bubbly cheese layer on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and slightly browned on top, about 30 minutes.
