Spinach cob dip , a creamy fav !
Happy New Year everyone !
Did this over the festive season but no time to wack it up, so here it is ! Lovely to have for a meal as well, served warm with or without salad on the side. It is, or course, not that dairy & cheese filled Aussie favourite served in a big loaf of bread, but it is a good sub for now 🙂

Serves 8
Delicious dip of creamy cauliflower and spinach with French onion spices.
Prep Time
20 min
Cook Time
25 min
Ingredients
- 1 brown onion, peeled and very finely diced
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried parsley leaf
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
- 3 cups stock
- 250g pkt frozen spinach, defrosted and drained/squeezed to remove all water
Instructions
- In a frypan, add oil, add onion and all spices. Cook over medium heat until really brown and crunchy. This makes the French onion spice mix.
- Meanwhile, in another medium saucepan, heat stock to the boil, then add cauliflower florets. Turn down to a simmer and cook until very soft, approx. 15-20 mins. Drain well and puree u til nice and smooth.
- Mix the squeezed spinach, cauli puree and half the onion mix on a bowl until just combined. Tip into a serving bowl. Top with the crunchy onion mix.
- Serve with cut up veggies as a warm or cold dip. Also good for a quick warm bowl meal during the week with a side salad.
Notes
- Probably not one to freeze as the cauli could seperate, also topping would lose its crunch. I haven't tried it yet though as we ate the lot !

I did this tonight in the mushrooms as suggested by Kristy. Could only eat one…only thing I strugged with was getting the onions crisp without burning them…Will definitely be doing this again although I have enough for the rest of the week. You are a godsend Joni
