Great with veggies and chips. I recommend making a day ahead to allow the flavors to blend. Read more reviews at the link.

1 1/4 cups thinly sliced shallots (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup mayonnaise

Season dip to taste with salt and pepper. Cover dip and refrigerate until flavors blend, about 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Serve dip chilled or at room temperature.

Rec: Artichoke Olive Dip from Epi

Artichoke Olive Dip

1 14- to 16-ounce can whole artichoke hearts, rinsed well, drained, and patted dry
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brine-cured green olives such as picholine, pitted and chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Garnish: fresh parsley sprigs
Accompaniment: 2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise), stalks trimmed flush with bulbs and bulbs cut lengthwise into strips or triangles for dipping

In a food processor purée artichoke hearts with oil until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer purée to a bowl and stir in garlic paste, olives, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill dip, covered, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Stir chopped parsley into dip and garnish with parsley sprigs.
Serve dip with fennel.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

My notes: This is so quick to make if you chop the olives in the food processor, then set aside while puréeing the artichoke hearts. I used pitted Kalamata olives and omitted the parsley and served with a sliced baguette. It always gets gobbled up at parties.

Thanks for posting this, I had forgotten it. Brings back old memories>>>>>>

I have never heard of the rum one. Is it as good?

 
Gay, this sounds so unusual! Do you have access to their site? I would be curious

what other appetizers were included. It appears that there were a total of 5. I might just be inspired to purchase this book!

Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out where the recipes are on this site.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Enjoy your weekend!

Barb
