Very naughty, but absolutely delicious, not for the calorie conscious and definitely for rare occasions! Super with bread or crisps, and could even be used in a tart for a fabulous starter.
Prep your ingredients as follows:
1.5 large bags of Spinach (roughly chopped into strips)
1 tin of artichokes (in water – roughly chopped into 1cm chunks)
100g of pine nuts (ground the pine nuts, or add whole if you prefer)
1 small white onion (chopped very finely, the smaller the better)
3 large cloves of garlic (chopped very finely, the smaller the better)
4 generous tablespoons Parmesan
150g Extra Strong Cheddar
80g of Romano Cheese
All cheese should be grated very finely
Heat the oven to 180/200 degrees.
Method
1. Fry the onion and garlic with a little olive oil until translucent in a large saucepan.
2. Add the artichoke hearts to the onion and garlic
3. Putting the saucepan to a low heat, add the spinach in handfuls to the onion and garlic mixture until the spinach is dark green in colour and mixed in nicely to the mixture.
4. Add the cream cheese one tablespoon at a time
5. Add the other cheese and mix
6. Add the pine nuts
7. Place into a large bowl, and bake in the oven at 180/200 for 40 minutes when the mixture will be hot throughout and brown on the top
Nibble with fresh bread or crisps of your choice.
Also lovely in tarts for a starter.
I hope you will enjoy :)
