  1. Mix white beans in a blender or food processor together with the cashews, the nutritional yeast, and the lemon juice.
  2. Put aside.
  3. Sauté the onion in some oil or water over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic for a minute.
  5. In the next step add the thawed spinach and cook for 3 more minutes.
  6. Stir in the artichokes and add the white bean cashew mixture.

  • You can also use 4 cups of leafy green, fresh spinach instead.
  • Variation for vegetarians: You may replace white beans and nutritional yeast with some sour cream. I’ve even seen recipes with sweet potatoes.
