We’re still going to some holiday get-togethers, and one of the things we brought to the last one was a hot artichoke dip. I’ve made this dip a number of times, but this time I decided to put everything in the processor, because I don’t like stringy pieces of artichoke. It turned out very delicious, but a little difficult to identify by sight. However, as soon as people realized it wasn’t hummus, it was a big hit!
