The Super Bowl is coming up and most years, I make the most of the chance to make a lot of hors d'oeuvres, finger food, and mixed drinks. This hot vegetarian spinach artichoke plunge is PERFECT for your Super Bowl festivity on the grounds that in addition to the fact that it is stuffed with veggies and produced using genuine fixings, however it's straight up heavenly, AND has left omnivores stunned that it's vegetarian and isn't made with dairy cheddar.
Simply take a gander at it. SO mushy! It's stretchy, meltable and gooey as well, much the same as a decent spinach and artichoke plunge ought to be. Step aside, Daiya! This is produced using scratch and a million times more delicious. I've likewise observed forms of sans dairy turn workmanship plunge made with tofu, and I'm certain those are delectable as well, however I think the cashews give the ideal rich and smooth base for this rendition.
This veggie lover spinach artichoke plunge utilizes custard starch to make a thick and gooey cashew "mozzarella" base. Custard starch is an all-characteristic starch produced using dried out manioc, a root vegetable like yucca. It gives the most astonishing cheddar like surface to veggie lover gooey things produced using scratch.

Ingredients
For the blender mixture:
- 1/4 cup raw cashews soaked overnight in cold water (see notes)
- 1 cup plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp tapioca starch
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp yellow or white miso (optional)
For the rest of the vegan spinach artichoke dip:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 white or yellow onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or less to taste)
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 14-oz. can artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped (drained weight 8 oz.; I used the unmarinated kind)
- 2 oz. fresh baby spinach thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a cast iron skillet (mine is about 6 inches in diameter) or ramekin.
- Combine all of the ingredients for the blender mixture in a blender or food processor, scraping down the sides as needed and blending until completely smooth. Strain using a nut milk bag if needed. Set aside.
- In a wide skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil of medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic, chili flakes, pepper, and paprika and stir. Cook for another 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Give the reserved blender mixture another stir and then add it to the pan. Stir every few seconds, making sure to scrape around the bottom of the saucepan to keep from sticking. The mixture will start to get chunky in places; when you see this happening, start to stir constantly until the mixture smooths out again and becomes one cohesive, somewhat stretchy mass.
- Add the spinach and artichoke hearts to the pan and stir in as best you can. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes more or until the spinach pieces wilt a little bit.
- Taste the mixture for salt and add more if desired. Transfer to the prepared dish and smooth out. For improved browning, lightly spray or brush the top with additional olive oil. If you have a broiler, bake for 10 minutes and then broil on high for another 3-4 minutes, until nice and browned and bubbly on top. If you don’t have a broiler, bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until slightly crusty and light brown on top.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes so that nobody burns their mouths, and then serve hot.
