Artichokes are my new fave thing. Seriously. How good are they!? And they are so versatile! They go really well on Pizza, in pasta, salads and dips! I wonder if an artichoke ice cream would work… I reckon it would (keep your eyes out for that one!). This 5 ingredient Warmed Artichoke Dip is the perfect starter for your next dinner party! 5 ingredients! And one of those is salt, which you can omit if you like.
We have a few other recipes with artichokes on our blog – in fact, one of our very first recipes we posted (which is still one of my faves!), is a Vegan Quesadilla, made with artichokes. We also have an Antipasto Scrambled Tofu that’s a pretty epic breakfast recipe!
The cashews combined with the artichokes in this dip give it a lovely creamy texture. If you want to tone up the spice add a little more paprika and some chilli flakes, perhaps some cayenne too. The flavour of this dip is quite mild. I really wanted to highlight the subtle flavour of the artichokes, but if you want to pack more flavour in, perhaps some roasted garlic or onion (or both!) would give it a nice lift.
Instead of nutritional yeast you could stir through a vegan cheese, which would also work quite well. We sprinkled some extra paprika on top to make it look sexy 😛
