Wal-Mart here carries Delallo brand. I called them and found out that Delallo Foods artichokes are gluten free. They are made in a gluten free facility even. I like that!!

It's good to know about the whole foods, however the closest one is about an hour away from me.


I will now be making this tonight:

Hot Artichoke Dip
Ingredients:
2 jars (6.5 ounces each) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely
chopped
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, pressed
Fresh vegetable dippers (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine artichokes, spinach, sour cream and
mayonnaise in Classic Batter Bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and garlic; mix well and
spoon into Mini-Baker.

2. Bake 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Serve with fresh vegetable
dippers, if desired.

Another fan of Delallo artichokes here! I talked with them last week and also confirmed that the product was gluten-free and that the facility processed no wheat, rye, barley or oat products...no cross-contamination!! I love them on my pizzas and in my salads.

Since you are discussing artichokes and my thoughts always stray to artichoke spinach dip, I thought I'd share my easy easy easy recipe....

a brick of cream cheese
a box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
a can of artichokes, chopped
a can of diced mild chili peppers
a cup or so of shredded cheese

mix all together, heat up and enjoy!!! Fabulous with chips, over baked chicken, pasta, or just by the spoonful!!!

I've always used Reese, never had a problem with them, I think, but am going to give them a call now.....could explain some things.......

Let us know what you find out. That is another common brand around here in the grocery stores. Thanks!
