Mustard Greens and Artichoke Dip

  • Level: Easy

Move over spinach, there’s a new green in town! Mustard greens add their peppery personality to the classic artichoke dip, balanced perfectly with the slightly sweet artichoke, lemon zest and of course, a few types of cheese. All that’s missing is the perfect dipper. My House-Seasoned pita chips stand up to this flavor packed dip.

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish

4 whole pitas, each cut into 8 wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons House Seasoning, recipe follows

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bunch mustard greens, roughly chopped (6 to 7 cups)

One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

1 cup half-and-half

One 8-ounce block cream cheese, cubed

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup grated or finely ground Parmigiano-Reggiano

House Seasoning:

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Lightly spray the paper, then spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the pita wedges, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the House Seasoning. Toss together, then arrange in a single layer on the sheet tray. Bake, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt together the butter and remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add the onions and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Sauté until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Wilt in the mustard greens a few handfuls at a time, then continue to cook until the greens become tender, another 5 minutes. Add the artichokes and stir, then add the half-and-half. Bring to a bubble, then reduce the heat, cooking until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Fold in the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes, then switch the oven to broil. Remove the foil and broil until golden brown on top, 1 to 2 minutes.

House Seasoning:

  1. Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Keep in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
