This baked artichoke dip is super easy and fast to make and makes a nice change to the usual assortment of dips to offer your guests with their drinks and nibbles when you are entertaining. As it served warm it is perfet for chilly evenings with just chunks of fresh bread to dip into it.
This is a Greek recipe so of course has Greek yogurt, lemons, garlic and dried oregano amoungst the other ingredients. Dried oregano is a staple in Greek cooking. Cretan oregano is fabulous if you can get it, packed with amazing flavour, if you can’t get Cretan then do look out for Greek oregano.
You are using preserved artichokes in oil that you buy in a jar for this baked artichoke dip, so it is something that can be whipped up at any time of year.
As it’s a warm dip it really is a little bit of a comfort food and perfect to have a bowl of this in front of the fire with some crusty bread and a good glass or two of wine.
