- 10 ounces canned artichoke hearts
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 dash garlic powder
- 1 dash black pepper
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped, as garnish
- Drain the liquids from the artichokes. Finely chop the artichokes and add to a small bowl. If fixing the cold version, then zap the artichokes in the microwave for about 1 minute, stir and then zap another minute. If fixing the baked version then you can skip the microwave zapping.
- Mix into the artichokes the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, garlic and pepper. Stir well.
- If serving cold then refrigerate until needed, garnish with the chopped walnuts (they can be raw or roasted).
- If serving it baked then place it in a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. If you would like a crusty top then add 1/3 cup of grated Romano or Parmesan cheese before baking. Let cool for 5 minutes then garnish with the chopped walnuts.
