Artichoke Spinich Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the chickpeas and garlic. Add the olive oil, tahini, and lemon juice, and process until smooth, adding more liquid (either the liquid from the can of chickpeas or some water) if necessary.
• Add the spinach, and pulse a few times, until it is incorporated but not pureed.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in the artichoke hearts by hand.
• Serve with fresh pita chips!

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except for spinach in food processor or blender until smooth.
• Stir finely chopped spinach into mixture.
• This will thicken after refrigeration, and is good for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator (I've never had any last beyond then!).
• I serve with reduced-fat Triscuits for a high fiber lunch.
