Throwback Thursday: Hot Spinach & Red Pepper Dip

February 17, 2011 13 comments Article Recipes, Side Dishes, Snacks, Vegetables

This week’s Throwback Thursday recipe is a hearty spinach and pepper dip; great for a cold winter day. There is something nourishing about a warm cheesy dip with bread. This recipe is a great pick-me-up. It goes well with chips or bread and is a great recipe for a potluck or party, and can easily be doubled if need be.

Hot Spinach and Red Pepper Dip

Serves 8

  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 while onion
  • 3/4 cup thawed frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Pepper-Jack cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat and add diced red pepper, onion and the chopped spinach. When water begins to boil again, turn to low for about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the spinach, onion and red pepper in a colander, pressing out as much liquid as possible. Grind these ingredients in a food processor until combined well.
  3. Combine the cream cheese and milk in the saucepan and cook over medium heat until hot and softened.
  4. Stir in the cooked spinach and red peppers, Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, salt and pepper. Continue to stir until well combined and heated through.
  5. Spoon hot dip into a serving dish and serve with the tablespoon of finely diced red bell pepper sprinkled on top for garnish.

    That looks so good!!!! And I love it that you put it in a bread bowl. The ones still hungry can just start eating the bowl after all the chips are gone!

    Hah! The first thing I thought of was “OH MAN BREAD BOWL!” and I see in the comments that everyone else thought the same thing. I’d eat anything in a bread bowl.

    Wow this looks delicious! I love the bread bowl presentation. Looks like it would be great for a party or for a night in with movies on the couch.

    A crusty baguette, a bottle of wine and this dip would make me very happy on a Friday evening! Better invite some people over, though, as my husband is not a fan of dips of any kind and I could end up eating the *whole* thing!

  • Savour the Senses February 18, 2011 at 10:52 am -

    Well, if it makes you feel better… I DID EAT THIS WHOLE THING! haha what can you do? Everything is good in moderation… including moderation.
