What Type of Artichokes Should I Use?
For this dip, I used a 15-ounce can of artichoke hearts, packed in water and not oil. I drained the water, and quarter the hearts. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, I highly recommend their frozen artichokes. Thaw them, drain off the water, and I would cut each piece in half.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI do not recommend oil-packed glass jars of artichokes, often found in the cheese area or the more gourmet section of the grocery store. They're just too greasy to then be added to an already decadent dip.
