Equipment Needed:
- Medium skillet
- Food processor
- 9-by-6-inch casserole dish
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon ghee, avocado oil, or olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups cashews, soaked overnight in 2 cups filtered water
- 3/4 cup warm filtered water
- 2/3 cup Paleo mayonnaise
- 1 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium skillet, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onions, sautéing for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion has softened.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the soaked and drained cashews with 3/4 cup of fresh warm water. Blend until creamy, about 20 seconds, to create a cashew cream.
- To the skillet with the sautéed spinach and onions, add the cashew cream, Paleo mayonnaise, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, nutritional yeast, and sea salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9-by-6-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and serve hot. Pair it with toasted baguette slices or your favorite tortilla-style chips for dipping.
