Nayonaise
soy cream cheese
whole wheat pita bread
optional: frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
vegan parmesean cheese
Directions:This is my friends favorite food. They all beg me for it when they come over. :-) Preheat the oven to 375- Open and drain the artichoke hearts. Then cut them up into little pieces (Howe'ver small you want) and put into a baking dish (I use a glass pie dish, which is the perfect size) Then add approximately 4 tablespoons Nayonaise and 2 tablespoons vegan cream cheese, and stir together. You can add more or less to taste, but the artichokes should be coated so they don't dry out when you bake them. If you want, you can also add chopped spinach at this point, just make sure if it was frozen that you drain it really well first. Also, you can add a little bit of vegan parmesean cheese. Once everything is mixed together, stick it in the oven for 15-30 minutes until everything is hot and gooey. If you want to leave it in a little longer the top will start to get a little crispy.
Serve with warm whole wheat pita, or, if you're hungry and desperate, its also good on vegan crackers or tortillas. I'm not vegan, so I usually use regular cream cheese but I do use nayonnaise and veggie parmesean, both of which are great in this recipe. :-)
Serves: varies
Preparation time: 5m + 20m bake
I'm not a huge fan of the taste of mayonnaise, even the vegan stuff, so I usually cut back a little on that. Next time I may add a tiny bit of plain soymilk when mixing to make it a bit easier to stir. Also, I tried this last night with two bunches of roasted asparagus cut into little pieces instead of artichoke hearts. Not the same thing of course, but I went a little overboard on buying asparagus last week because it was $0.98 at the grocery store. The dip turned out great!

I made it for my dad who has dietary restrictions, but my mom loved this and she is very picky- thanks for the recipe!!!
