    List of Ingredients




    Spinach Artichoke Dip Jalapeno Poppers

    Jalapenos

    For the Dip :

    1/2 cup artichoke quarters
    1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
    1 or 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
    salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 375.

    Put all the dip ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to blend thoroughly and get rid of any large chunks.

    Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    Taste it and adjust the salt, pepper, garlic and/or lemon if necessary.

    Refrigerate until ready to use.

    Cut the jalapenos in half and carefully scoop out most of the seeds and veins.

    If you are careful and use a small sharp knife you can cut right down through the middle of the stems, too, so the poppers each have a cute stem/handle.

    Stuff each popper with dip, mounding it just a bit.

    Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 15 minutes, and put them under the broiler for the last minute or so if they need a little more browning.

    Don't leave them too long in the oven or broiler or the peppers will lose their shape.


    Note : After you thaw the spinach, force the extra moisture out of it : I press it in a mesh strainer with the back of a spoon. It will make your dip watery if you don't do this step. When you cut the peppers in half, take note of their shape and cut it in such a way that they will lay the flattest.
