Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Onion (finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Sauté the diced onion until translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the blended cashew cream to the wilted spinach mixture.
Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and stir everything together until evenly combined.
Simmer the dip on low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and heated through.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, or vegetable sticks.
