How to Make a great Spinach Artichoke Dip

  • The base for this creamy dip is a mix of nuts. Cashews can get pretty expensive, so I use them in combination with walnuts or other nuts for the sauce. 
  • Additional thickener such as tapioca starch also helps make a creamy thick dip without needing cups and cups of nuts. 
  • The dip is getting cooked on a skillet, so taste and adjust to preference in the process.
  • The dip is easily made glutenfree with gf breadcrumbs or omitting the breadcrumb topping, or use vegan parmesan topping instead. 
  • For nut-free, use pumpkin seeds and some tofu for volume.

  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 (0.5 ) onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp fresh chives or 1 tsp dried
  • 5 oz spinach **
  • 14 oz can of artichoke drained and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) salt divided
  • 1/4 cup (81 g) breadcrumbs mixed with 1/2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Blend everything from cashews till tapioca starch until smooth creamy mix. (blend for a minute, then let it sit for 5 then blend again)
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil or broth. 
  • Add onion, garlic and pinch of salt and cook until golden. Transfer a third of the onion mixture to the blender with the cream sauce and blend and set aside.
  • Add pepper flakes and chives to the skillet and mix in. Add spinach and salt and cook for 1 min(2 mins) if spinach has too much moisture. **
  • Add artichokes and mix in. Cook for another minute or 2 to heat up well.
  • Add the blended cream sauce and mix in. Continue to cook for 2-3 mins to thicken. Stir frequently to avoid sticking to the bottom. Taste carefully and adjust salt and flavor. Add salt and onion powder if needed. (You can store this dip refrigerated for upto 3 days. Broil when ready to serve).
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs all over, then put in the oven and broil for 4-5 mins. (or bake at 450 deg F if you dont have the broil option)
  • Serve hot with crusty bread, crackers, chips, veggies. Use the dip in wraps or make a melt sandwich. Add roasted veggies or mashed beans and the dip and put in a panini press to grill.

Notes

Nut-free: Use 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds and 1/4 cup tofu instead of the nuts. Add 1 tsp more tapioca starch to the cream mixture. 
Glutenfree: Use glutenfree breadcrumbs, or vegan parm, or omit the topping.
 
** You can use fresh(chopped), or frozen spinach(thawed for a few mins). Cook for a minute to wilt fresh spinach and 3-4 mins to cook out the moisture from frozen spinach at step 4.

  5. 2 questions:

    1. Can I use tapioca “pearls” instead of starch? (That’s what I found at my store.)
    2. What size skillet? My case iron is small, only 8″, and not sure if too small. If so, what other pan can I put in for broiling? Pyrex pie or square dish for example?

    Thank you!

    • 1. no the pearls dont work the same way, i’ve tried. you can use a different starch
      2. 9 inch. 8 inch should work, it might be tricky to mix in it coz it might get a bit full, thats all. or transfer to a baking dish, glass or stoneware.

      • Thanks for replying! I think I’ll cook it in a 10 in. stainless pan I have for more room, then pile it all in to the 8″ cast iron for the broiling part.

        Thanks! Can’t wait to make this! I’m going to a meat-loving-crowd Super Bowl party and want to have something to bring that I can eat, and that maybe others won’t turn their noses up at because it’s vegan. 🙂

    Just made this! It’s Delish! A real crowd pleaser.
    I Used fresh spinach and vegan Parma on top.
    I love that you can make ahead and then just broil at the end.
    Thank you for this and all your yummy recipes!

  10. sounds delish! If you are omitting the breadcrumbs on top do you still need to broil it before serving or can this be made ahead and eaten cold?

    Delicious! I subbed/used all cashews, instead of some walnuts, unsweetened almond milk, frozen spinach and white wine vinegar for the acid. Love your site!

    I left the miso out as I didn’t have it on hand and added a bit more salt.
