Jalapeno Artichoke Dip Recipe
Description
The dip combines coarse-chopped marinated artichoke hearts with grated Parmigiano Reggiano, cream cheese, and mayonnaise to achieve a creamy base suited for spreading. Salt and black pepper balance the flavors. A splash of water helps achieve a slightly chunky consistency. Finely diced jalapeños stirred in by hand contribute spice and fresh pepper flavor, while slices of jalapeño add visual garnish and more heat if desired.
The result is a rich, tangy dip with varied texture from the chopped artichokes and creamy cheeses. It can be served chilled or at room temperature paired with a variety of dippers including pita bread, crackers, tortilla chips, or raw vegetables. The jalapeño provides a gentle kick without overpowering the artichoke’s mild flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup artichoke hearts drained, marinated
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste + more for garnish
- splash of water
- 2 tbsp jalapeños finely diced + slices for garnish
Instructions
- Place artichokes into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Add in parmesan cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Pulse in short bursts or until everything starts to blend.
- You may need to add in a splash of water to get things going at first. Make sure to leave the dip slightly chunky, so it has a good texture.
- Spoon dip into a bowl and stir in diced jalapenos by hand. Garnish with more black pepper and a couple sliced jalapenos, if desired.
- Serve with pita, crackers, tortilla chips, veggies, etc.
