Oh dear, we’re late! When you need an appetizer to make it to the party on time, our 20-minute Crab & Artichoke Dill Spread will save the day. Cream cheese and mayonnaise make this spread superbly smooth, pairing perfectly with succulent chunks of crab and tender artichokes. A touch of sautéed shallots, squeezed lemon juice and a garnish of fresh dill add savory, zesty notes. Serve with crackers, chips or toast for a delightfully crunchy finish.
Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat and add the oil to heat. Add shallots and sauté about 2 minutes. Let cool.
In a small food processor, mix the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Transfer to a medium-size bowl. Add dill and lemon juice, mix well. Add artichokes, crabmeat and cooled shallots. Mix until well blended.
