Artichoke Dip

Artichoke Dip by ericasrecipes
For years, I was on a mission to make a good artichoke dip. And this was back in my early 20s, in graduate school, when I was just starting to cook. Every time I went to someone’s house, I would bring a new version (I have always had zero problem using friends, family, and co-workers as guinea pigs for new dishes). And they weren’t good – too bland, too overpowering, too lemony, too garlicky, and so on. Then I remember THE night I heard my friend say “Oh, Erica finally got it right!” Turns out the trick, suggested by a friend, was green chili and I’ve been adding it ever since! -Erica (www.EricasRecipes.com)
