Quest 23: Digdogger Dip
Digdogger is one of those enemies that is more annoying than anything else when playing the original LoZ. One quick toot on the recorder and it shrinks down and your start slashing. I think we can make this dungeon boss a little more epic by making it into a dip. My favorite dip is spinach artichoke. I have played around with this recipe for years, and I think I have perfected it. I made this with pita chips and appetizers to show how to complete the package for a party. We actually just ate this for dinner this week. It was delicious. Enjoy!
Gear!
Olive Oil
1 red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 can artichoke hears, drained and finely chopped
4 cups of fresh spinach - frozen won't work here
1 (5 oz) pkg of boursin or herbed goat cheese
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
a slash of cream
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of garlic chili sauce (garnish)
1 large dollop of sour cream (garnish)
1 large sliced olive (garnish)
1 sliced red pepper
GF flatbread, cut into wedges and baked with galic salt and olive oil
GF meatballs, shrimp, and other vegetables
Quest!
Start by chopping your red onion up and softening it in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt. We are not sauteing (not browning). When the onions are translucent, chop the garlic cloves and add to the pan. Tip: the smaller you chop garlic, the more intense the garlic flavor - plan accordingly.
Chop up the canned artichokes and add them to the pan. Let them heat up and soften just a bit.
Add all the spinach to the pan. This may seem like a lot of spinach, but it cooks down into nothing. Add a little pinch of salt to help the spinach wilt.
See, that's all that's left afterwards.
Add the boursin (or goat) cheese to the mixture and let it melt. Add the splash of cream to help it along. These are really great melting cheeses and they add a little extra with the herbs that are mixed in.
Add 1/2 the cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until melted. At this point, check the salt and add some pepper.
Add the rest of the cheddar to the top and just let it melt on top. (It makes it more orange looking.)
Add the sliced red pepper to the sides. A dollop of sour cream in the middle with the olive slice on top to make the eye. Carefully, place a few blobs (yes, technical term) of chili garlic sauce along side the eye.
Pair with pita bread and appetizers and you have a pretty nice looking party or dinner.
