Category: Dips - Cold
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 shallot, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 (6 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
10 bacon strips, fried until crisp and crumbled
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cups sour cream
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Crispy Pitas, recipe follows

Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot softens and the garlic begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Put the spinach in a colander and squeeze out all of the excess water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the artichoke hearts, crumbled bacon, cooked garlic and shallot, lemon zest, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix well with a rubber spatula, and transfer to a decorative bowl. Allow to sit for 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend. Serve with crispy pitas.

Crispy Pitas:
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 pitas, cut into 12 wedges each

Preheat the oven to 350.

Mix all of the herbs and spices in a small bowl. Put the pita wedges into a large mixing bowl and add the spice mix. Drizzle the oil over all and toss well to coat. Put the pitas onto a baking sheet, shake it to even them out and place the pan into the top half of the preheated oven until they are crispy and lightly brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool 10 minutes and mound around the dip bowl. Yield: 96 pita crisps
