Ingredients
- 1½ cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil sub avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons shallots minced
- ½ white onion diced (sub yellow onion)
- 1 celery stalk thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup + 3 tablespoons dairy-free unsweetened, unflavored creamer
- ¼ cup vegan mayo
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cans large artichokes drained and quartered
- 8 ounces fresh spinach
Serving Suggestions:
- pita chips
- fresh vegetables
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350℉. Place 1½ cups raw cashews in a bowl with boiling water for 30 minutes (or they could soak in room temperature water overnight). Drain before using.
- Sauté: Bring a large skillet to a medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add 2 teaspoons garlic and 2 teaspoons shallots; Move around the pan as they cook down and become fragrant. Add diced onion and celery; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Allow to cook 3-5 minutes or until onions are translucent; set aside.
- Blend: Place softened cashews in a high-powered blender, along with ½ cup + 3 tablespoons dairy-free unsweetened, unflavored creamer. Blend until smooth, about 2-5 minutes; you will need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple times. Add ¼ cup vegan mayo, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and a little more salt and pepper. Blend on low to combine. Add onion mixture and 2 cans large artichokes to the blender, pulse a couple times to combine (only 2-3 times, you don't want to break down the artichokes too much).
- Spinach: Place 8 ounces fresh spinach in a large cast iron skillet and bring to medium heat. Move around in the hot pan until wilted.
- Bake: Place artichoke mixture in a 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan. Add cooked spinach to this mixture and mix to combine. Place in preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes or until it is warm throughout.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with pita chips or fresh veggies.
Notes
- Prep Ahead of Time: You can easily make this ahead of time and then just place it in the oven to warm before serving.
