Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

I love this one out at parties. However, every recipe I've seen calls for frozen spinach. I don't care for any frozen veggies especially spinach. So here it goes Mandy's version with fresh spinach. Enjoy!

one bag fresh baby spinach (washed & chopped)
jar of artichoke hearts (in oil)
1/2 8oz bag of fresh shredded Parmesan Cheese
1/2 8 oz bag of fresh Swiss Cheese
1/4c. sour cream
3 cloves fresh garlic
1 small yellow onion


Saute in a large non-stick pan (that has a tight fitting lid) chopped garlic and diced onion with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir until the onions turn a bit golden. Add two tablespoons of water and the entire bag of spinach (I took the time to chop the spinach with a large knife before adding it...made a nice difference when dipping). Place the lid on and let steam down. May need to add another table spoon of water but don't over do it with the water. Once the spinach steams down add the sour cream and stir to coat the spinach. Add about 3 diced artichoke hearts stir well. Transfer the spinach mixture to a baking dish and add the cheese to the top wait until bubbly and a bit toasted on top. Serve with sliced french bread or crackers. Yum Yum and healthy too!
