Number Of Ingredients 11

vegetable oil, for the dish
300g chopped frozen spinach, defrosted
250g soft cheese
150ml soured cream
100g mayonnaise
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
75g vegetarian hard cheese, grated
100g grated mozzarella
100g grated vegetarian cheddar
2 x 280g jars artichokes, drained and roughly chopped
tortilla chips and crudités of your choice, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Lightly oil a small baking dish. Tip the defrosted spinach into a sieve set over the sink and press down with the back of a large spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
  • Whisk the soft cheese, soured cream and mayonnaise together in a medium bowl until well-combined. Add the garlic, most of the cheeses, all the spinach and the artichokes. Season with black pepper and fold everything together to combine.
  • Spoon the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a day. Bake for 25-30 mins until bubbling and golden. If you like an extra-crisp top, flash under a hot grill for the final few minutes of cooking time. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then serve with tortilla chips and crudités.
