A favorite appetizer at a restaurant and now you can make this at home super cheap! Artichoke dip is so fun for a creamy topping on your pan-roasted artichokes, and this red pepper creamy dipping sauce is the best for a luscious taste.
10 baby artichokes – 1 lemon
4 cloves of garlic – very finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley – very finely chopped
Extra virgin olive oil – Salt & pepper
Clean the artichokes by removing the outer leaves until you reach the yellow light green part of the artichoke. Cut the top part of the leaves (about 3/4 inch), trim about 1/4 inch of the stem and peel the stem. Cut the artichoke in half and place them in a bowl of water in which you have squeezed the juice of one lemon. Clean all artichokes and keep them in water for about 10 mins.
Mix well and with a teaspoon spread over each artichoke.
Sprinkle with salt and fresh black pepper.
