Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 6 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 6 to 8 oz spinach frozen or chopped
- 1/2 cup corn frozen
- 1/4 tsp pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cashews soaked for 15 minutes
- 1 1/3 cup non dairy milk or water
- 4 tsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp flour or use rice flour to make it gluten-free
- 1 tsp lime or lemon juice
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp miso or 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for cheesier flavor
- a dash of black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or 1 tsp dried
- 1 tbsp chives or parsley or both or 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1 Recipe Easy Pizza crust or 2 puff pastry sheets.
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until translucent.
- Add spinach, corn and pepper flakes and mix in. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. (I use frozen spinach directly from the freezer, fresh will cook faster).
- Meanwhile, blend cashews with all the ingredients from non dairy milk to black pepper. Blend until smooth. (For thick and creamier dip, use 1/2 cup cashews and 1 tsp starch)
- Add the mixture to the skillet. Sprinkle in the dill, chives/parsley and black pepper and mix in. Bring to a boil to thicken. Taste and adjust flavor. Cook for another minute stirring continuously then take off heat. At this point this dip can be served as is. Or transfer to a bread bowl and serve warm-hot with a sprinkle of vegan parm on top.
- To make breadsticks, Prep your pizza crust and roll it out into somewhat rectangle or use thawed puff pastry sheets. Spread the warm/cool (not hot) dip over the crust. Add jalapeno or other sliced veggies or veggie sausage or other toppings.
- Bake at 425 degress F(220 deg C) for 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for half a minute. Slice into breadsticks and serve!
Notes
For variation: Use other greens as baby kale, chard etc. Add chopped artichokes for a Spinach Artichoke dip. Add beans or peas instead of corn.
To make this gluten-free, serve as a dip with veggies, or use gluten-free pizza crust.
