Spicy Artichoke Dip
This creamy and piquant dip combines artichoke hearts with jalapeños and two types of cheese for a flavourful spread. It is quick to prepare, taking just 10 minutes, and yields about 2 cups, ideal for sharing. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of jalapeño used. Serve it chilled with your choice of dippers.
