List of Ingredients






•1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•1 shallot, minced
•3 garlic cloves, minced
•1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
•1 (6-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
•10 bacon strips, fried until crisp and crumbled
•1 teaspoon lemon zest
•2 cups sour cream
•1 teaspoon kosher salt
•1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•Crispy Pitas, recipe follows
Directions
Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot softens and the garlic begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.


Put the spinach in a colander and squeeze out all of the excess water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the artichoke hearts, crumbled bacon, cooked garlic and shallot, lemon zest, sour cream, salt and pepper. Mix well with a rubber spatula, and transfer to a decorative bowl. Allow to sit for 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can blend.
