Description
This one’s rich, creamy, and honestly hard to stop eating once it’s warm. It’s the kind of dip you bring out, and suddenly everyone’s hovering around the pan.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (375 ml)
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, carton not canned (500 ml)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
- 1 1/2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar (22.5 ml)
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast (60 ml)
- 1 tsp paprika (5 ml)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (5 ml)
- 1 tsp onion powder (5 ml)
- Large pinch nutmeg (about 0.5 ml)
- 1/2 tsp salt, more to taste (2.5 ml)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, more to taste (1.25 ml)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium vegetable broth (45 ml), plus extra if needed
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cans (14 oz / 800 g total) artichoke hearts in water, rinsed, drained, chopped
- 2 bags (10 oz / 550 g total) frozen spinach
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the 1½ cups raw cashews.
- Make sure the water sits about 2.5 cm above them.
- Boil for 10 minutes, then drain and discard the water.
- Add the softened cashews, 2 cups of coconut milk, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 4 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, a pinch of nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth. If it’s looking a bit thick or grainy, blend another minute or add a splash more coconut milk. You’re aiming for a silky texture that coats the back of a spoon.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the 3 tbsp vegetable broth and the diced red onion.
- Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes until soft and lightly golden. Stir now, and then so it doesn’t stick. If the pan dries out, add a bit more broth.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Then add the chopped artichoke hearts and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in the cashew cream sauce and stir everything together until fully combined. Let it gently heat through.
- Add the frozen spinach straight into the pan.
- Break it up a bit as it softens. Stir continuously so it blends evenly into the sauce and doesn’t clump.
- Let the dip cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s hot, slightly bubbling, and thickened.
- If it gets too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen it. If it’s too thin, just let it cook a bit longer.
- Give it a taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Best served warm right out of the pan. It thickens a bit as it sits, so keep that in mind.
- Serve with 4 Ingredients Only, Yeast Artisan Bread
