Artichoke Dip
.
This is my favorite dip. Spread it on crackers, use it on sandwiches, add it to cold pasta, or toss in some mayo and use it as a crudite dip. Any which way, it is delicious. Just be aware, the garlic flavor will become more pronounced the longer it sits.
16-ounce can whole artichoke hearts drained
1/4 cup olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup brine-cured green olives pitted and sliced (Israeli olives taste best in this recipe)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
In a food processor or blender, purée the drained artichoke hearts with oil until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Add more oil if needed. Transfer purée to a bowl and stir in garlic paste, olives, and salt and pepper to taste.
Chill dip, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
Just before serving, stir chopped parsley into dip.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Do you use the marinated artichoke hearts or the regular ones in...artichoke juice? I'm not sure WHAT that stuff is, actually.
This sounds like a great alternative to the usual mayo- and parmesan-filled artichoke dips (although, don't get me wrong, those are delish too.)

I use the regular trimmed hearts from Trader Joes or Whole Foods (as pictured.)
That stuff, according to the cans, is water...
