| Artichoke & Spinach Dip |
- 2 14 oz can Fanci Food® quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 10oz box frozen spinach, thawed
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
|
Preheat the broiler and lightly butter a one quart casserole dish. In a large skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 10 minutes until they are translucent. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the mozzarella and sour cream.
Squeeze as much water out of the spinach as possible, reserve the spinach and discard the liquid. Pulse the drained artichokes and spinach eight to ten times in a food processor, or until coarsely chopped. Add the artichoke and spinach mixture to the cream mixture. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne if desired. Stir well until the dip is thoroughly mixed.
Spoon the artichoke mixture into the casserole dish and microwave for two to three minutes. Now, place it under the broiler until the top is bubbly (approximately 1-2 minutes). Serve warm with crackers, pita bread, tortilla chips, or crudités.

Lemon-Poached Tilapia Filets
|
- ¼ cup Fanci Food® white cooking wine
- 8 Fanci Food® large artichoke hearts, quartered
- 3 Tbsp capers
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup thinly sliced white mushrooms
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 fresh tilapia fillets, 4 to 6 oz each
- ½ cup water, vegetable broth, or fish stock
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, minced
- 2 Tbsp shallots, minced
- Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add oil. Add mushrooms and sauté until limp. Add white wine and lemon juice, reduce until almost dry. Add water or broth, capers, artichokes, and thyme, bring to a simmer and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Add butter to bottom of a large skillet, and sprinkle shallots on top of the butter. Season each fillet with a little salt and pepper and place each onto the shallots. Carefully ladle the hot artichoke mixture over the fish. Place over a low heat and bring to a poach. Cover and allow to cook for five to seven minutes, or until the fish flakes easily.
3. Remove fillets to a plate and return pan to the stove. Increase heat to medium-high and reduce the remaining liquid to form a sauce. Spoon sauce over fish. Serve with mixed vegetables, and Fanci Food® Wild Rice, if desired. |
