Instructions
-
Begin by prepping all of your food including soaking your cashews for 2 hours, thawing your frozen kale, draining and chopping your artichoke hearts, and then mincing your shallots and garlic.
-
Next in a high-speed blender, blend the cashews and chicken broth together until it’s smooth, and it’ll be fairly thin.
-
Now it’s time to start cooking the dip, so heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 T. extra-virgin olive oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and stir for 2-4 minutes or until the shallots are tender and fragrant. Then add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute.
-
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast to the pan and stir for about 1 minute so the flavors start to combine.
-
Pour the cashew sauce, kale, lemon juice, and jalapeño Tabasco sauce to the pan and stir to combine the dip. Once it’s hot, which won’t take long, then you’re ready to serve right away with your favorite tortilla chips or veggies.
Notes
Laura Lea’s Note: If you want to bake the dip, you can preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then sprinkle with extra nutritional yeast for a dairy free option, or add your favorite cheese to the top. Bake for about 15 minutes so the cheese melts and the ages are golden brown. The dip should last up to 4 days if well sealed in the refrigerator.
