Step 1

Roughly chop the artichokes.

Step 2

Squeeze excess liquid out of spinach. Either use paper towels or a clean dishtowel, or my method is to use a colander and press liquid out using a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Place cream cheese in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 second bursts or until softened. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add remaining ingredients. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix vigorously, otherwise you’ll smush the artichokes and spinach).

Step 5

Warm in microwave to your taste. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Best served warm but terrific served at room temperature too! Serve with your favourite crackers, vegetable sticks and chips.
