  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried mint

Method:

  1. Prepare the spinach by cooking until wilted. Make sure to drain out the water completely. Drain the artichoke hearts, and set them aside.
  2. In a large Cuisinart blender, add all ingredients inside and pulse until everything is finely chopped and blended.
  3. Place mixture into a lightly greased oven-safe casserole and place in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. ( You can always add more feta to the top and bake for an additional few minutes.)
  4. Serve with pita crackers or toasted sourdough bread.
