To celebrate our first Cozy Mystery, Mrs. Morris and the Ghost which debuts everywhere Today, I would like to give you a delicious and easy recipe for ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH FONTANA that comes from Minnie’s kitchen. (I must credit Martha Stewart with this one, but Minnie does a fabulous job entertaining the guests at Charlene’s B&B. If you visit Salem, this is a must stay! At least in our book anyway! Traci Hall and I co-writed this under the name Traci Wilton.
Enjoy!
ARTICHOKE DIP WITH FONTANA CHEESE
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil,
1/2 medium yellow onion diced,
3 garlic cloves,
3- 14 oz cans of artichokes drained and chopped.
1/3 cup of dry white wine,
4 oz Neufchatel cream cheese, room temperature,
2 l/4 cubed Fontina cheese, about 3/4 lbs,
l/4 cup chopped fresh parsley,
8 pitas cut into wedges.
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add artichokes and wine; cook until liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes.
2. Remove skillet from heat and stir in cream cheese until blended. Fold in 1 1/4 cups Fontina and parsley. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart baking dish; sprinkle with 1 cup additional Fontina. Bake until golden and bubbling, 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss pitas with 1 tablespoon oil; spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm dip with pita chips.
