Very fresh, tasty dip. I made it for a fall party, and it was very nice accompanied by carrots, celery, and toasted baguette bread. I followed the recipe exactly, and just sprinkled a bit of curry on the top of the dip. I processed it for quite some time, and the dip (before adding the artichokes) never really got smooth, so the texture wasn't quite what I expected. Next time, I'll try processing in the blender instead of in the Cuisinart. Nice taste, and BTW, it's also very nice as a sandwich spread! Thanks, Kozmic Blues!
