Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Step 2

To prepare the cream, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 3

To prepare the sautéed kale, heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet. (If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use a regular pan and transfer mixture to a baking dish later). Add onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Turn the hat off, add the kale, and cook for a few minutes, or until the kale wilts.

Step 4

Pour the cream mixture into the skillet. Add the artichoke hearts, salt, and pepper, and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly. Enjoy warm with crackers, chips, or toast. It will thicken as it cools.
