Artichoke Cream Dip

Artichoke DipAs a freelance chef, I often work for an agency when I am in between jobs. The agency usually sends me to high end corporate and hotel events as they are the only ones who can afford the rate for additional culinary staff. When I get there, it’s always a guessing game what I’ll be asked to do. It could be as simple as making sandwiches or plating already prepared food for gourmet presentation. It could be slicing meat at a carving station during an event. Sometimes, I am just given a printed recipe and asked to make it. This is my favorite task because if it turns out I find the recipe delicious, I then take a photo of the recipe and now have a new one to my collection.

This is how I came up with this recipe. Although it wasn’t used as a dip, but the base for a savory appetizer tart with a few personal adjustments, I thought it would easily be transformed into a delicious sauce for my BM theme this week of using one sauce in different ways.

Don’t forget to come back to see how this is transformed into a delicious sauce for the other two BM recipes this week!

  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz. goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet. Pan roast garlic until golden brown.

Combine garlic with onion-artichoke mix in a food processor and process until chopped very fine.

Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, Parmesan and goat cheese. Using the paddle attachment, mix until thoroughly combined. Add herbs and mix until thoroughly combined.

Notes: DO NOT ADD SALT. With all the cheese in this, no additional salt is necessary.

This is meant to be used right away. Once refrigerated, the goat cheese will firm up, causing the dip to become quite thick. If you want to make for later use, add 3/4 cup of heavy cream.
