Vegan Artichoke Dip
Ingredients
One 8-oz can artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
1 large shallot thinly sliced (salad slices)
3 cloves of garlic minced
2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For Pine Nut Cheese
1 cup soaked pine nuts (soak for an hour)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 Tablespoon nutritional yeast ( I eyed this so start with less and add to taste)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic
1-2 pinches of salt or to taste
How to make it
Add olive oil and shallots to small/medium pan and cook over medium heat until caramelized. Add garlic and saute for a few more minutes over medium-low heat or until garlic is soft but not brown. Set aside.
To make pint nut cheese, combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth but a little bit grainy still. Add more nutritional yeast and salt to taste.
Make the Cashew mayo according to recipe here.
In a small pyrex, combine artichokes, pine nut cheese, cashew mayo, shallots and garlic and mix together with a spoon. Taste and add salt if needed.
Bake in oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees – until hot all the way through.
