Artichoke Dip Recipe with Red Peppers and Green Olives
This easy Mediterranean style artichoke dip recipe with red peppers and green olives is inspired by a Greek mezze of artichokes in lemon juice with olive oil. It’s a clean-out-the-fridge dip that’s nothing if not versatile. I’ve used jars of marinated grilled artichoke hearts, red capsicums and olives left from an Italian antipasti platter, but you could add sun-dried tomatoes, marinated mushrooms, feta, or whatever you have in the fridge that needs finishing. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, dress with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, season with a little salt, and serve with pita bread, toasted sourdough or crisps.
