I am sure you have all tried this dish at some point in your life. It is one of my favorite dips with bruscetta or chips so I usually order it when it is my turn to pick an appetizer. I have tried some incredible versions of this dip at several restaurants but this recipe is my favorite yet. Which is surprising considering where I tasted it first ... HEB. Yep, I got this decedent mouthful at a tasting stand in my local grocery store. I grabbed the sample and kept walking because the boys were trying to grab as many little plastic cups from the stand as possible. I took one bite, stopped, and went back to ask the woman how to make it. She handed me a little recipe card and off I went to buy everything right then. That may not seem like a big deal but for me it means backtracking down four different aisles to get the ingredients I need while my boys fight with their seat belts and each other as I race the clock to get out of the store before my patience runs out. It is rich and salty with a deep, complex flavor from the artichoke tapenade.
