Ingredients

• Servings: 20

• 2 peel the garlic and toss it into the bowl of your food processor.
• 3 process until finely minced.
• 4 add the drained artichoke hearts and process until well mashed.
• 5 (remove any stubborn pieces as these only end up stuck in your teeth and that really is antisocia.).
• 6 add cream cheese and mayo, process until well mixed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl.
• 7 add the parmesan slowly, making certain it gets fully incorporated.
• 8 add the tabasco and process again.
• 9 pour into an oven proof casserole and bake covered until bubbly, 25 - 30 minutes or so i think, just keep an eye on it.
• 10 serve with crackers, crudites, baguette slices, pita bread, etc.
• 11 enjoy.
• 12 notes:.
• 13 if you don't have a food processor you can do all this by hand.
• 14 just make certain that your garlic is well crushed, the artichoke hearts are finely chopped, and everything is well mixed together.
• 15 if you have leftovers (doubtful unless you reserve some and hide it at the back of your fridge), refrigerate promptly and it will last for at least a week.
• 16 you can make this up to a day ahead and cook it just before your guests arrive.
• 17 this also makes a delicious sandwich spread if there is any leftover the next day.
