Bread Bowl with Kale & Artichoke Dip

Ingredients

  • 2 (16 oz/450 g each) sourdough bread rounds (about 6 in./15 cm diameter), divided
  •  Vegetable oil
  • 1 jar (12 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained (1¼ cups/300 mL)
  • 1 can (8 oz or 199 mL) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 8 oz (250 g) mozzarella cheese (2 cups/500 mL grated)
  • 2 oz (60 g) fresh Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup/125 mL grated)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream
  • 2   garlic cloves
  • 3 cups (750 mL) fresh kale leaves, stems removed and torn into pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC). Using serrated knife, slice off top of one bread round to create a lid; set lid aside (leave lid intact). Carefully remove center of bread round to form a 4½-in. (12-cm) wide and 2-in. (5-cm) deep well for dip.

  2. Cut the bread removed from center and entire second bread round into 1-in. (2.5-cm) cubes. Place the bread bowl on the center of a White Large Round Stone. Arrange the bread cubes around the bowl and spray with vegetable oil.

  3. Using the Manual Food Processor, process the artichokes and water chestnuts until coarsely chopped; place them in the Classic Batter Bowl.

  4. Using the Microplane® Adjustable Coarse Grater, grate the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Add the cheeses, mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic pressed with the Garlic Press to the batter bowl.  

  5. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2 minutes or until cheeses begin to melt; mix until well blended. 

  6.  Meanwhile, process kale until finely chopped. Remove batter bowl from microwave and stir in kale.

  7. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes until hot, stirring halfway through cooking. Remove from microwave. Pour dip into bread bowl. 

  8. Lean lid against bread bowl. Bake 13-15 minutes or until dip is heated through and top is golden brown.
