Hot artichoke dip is a big favorite of mine. I process the chokes with
olive oil so I don't have to add as much mayonnaise to make it "dippy".

I think for an 8 by 8 pan I usually use 2 cans of artichokes, 1 cup
parmesan, enough olive oil to get them ground up, a couple of cloves of
garlic, and enough mayo to make it "dippy" (about half a cup, I reckon).
I chop the chokes with the garlic and oil in the FP, fold in the
cheese, fold in the mayo. Bake till it's bubbly.

Usually served with bread or crackers, but I don't see why veggies
wouldn't work to lower the carb count. Red bells would be extra-tasty
with this.

I also love artichoke-lemon pesto but don't have a trusted recipe to give
to you.
