Chef's Tips

For a spicier dip, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.

You can use frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and squeezed dry, if fresh are not available.

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. The dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, then reheated before serving.
