Prep time: 10 minutes
Yield: Makes about 2 cups of dip
Ingredients
1 14-ounce (400 g) can of artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup (25 g), packed, grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, room temperature
3 to 4 Tbsp lemon juice
Method
1 Put the drained artichoke hearts, parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest, garlic, and salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse a few times until a paste forms. You should still be able to make out bits of parsley and lemon, so don't over-process it.
2 Place the cream cheese in a medium sized bowl. Add the artichoke parsley mixture and the lemon juice. Stir until well blended. Add more salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Garnish with a few fresh leaves of parsley or ribbons of lemon zest.
