Artichokes with Roasted Garlic-Wine Dip
If you have roughly 45 minutes to spend in the kitchen, Artichokes with Roasted Garlic-Wine Dip might be a spectacular gluten free, primal, and vegetarian recipe to try. For $3.76 per serving, you get a main course that serves 4. One serving contains 241 calories, 13g of protein, and 3g of fat. It is perfect for The Super Bowl. If you have artichokes, vegetable broth, garlic heads, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert. Killer Grilled Artichokes With Garlic and White Wine Butter, Pot-Roasted Artichokes With White Wine and Capers, and Pan-Roasted Artichokes with Lemon and Garlic are very similar to this recipe.
Instructions
Remove white papery skin from garlic heads (do not peel or separate the cloves). Wrap each head separately in foil.
Bake at 400 for 45 minutes; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins.
Cut off stems of artichokes, and remove bottom leaves. Trim about 1/2 inch from tops of artichokes.
Place artichokes, stem ends down, in a large Dutch oven filled two-thirds with water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until a leaf near the center of each artichoke pulls out easily.
Remove artichokes from pan.
Combine half of garlic pulp and wine in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes.
Add broth; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 8 minutes).
Remove from heat; stir in butter and salt.
Pour mixture into a blender; add remaining half of garlic pulp.
Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender.
Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth.
Sprinkle dip with parsley, if desired.
Serve dip with warm artichokes.
