About
This rich and cheesy casserole is loaded with low carb vegetables, oozy cheddar and mozzarella and topped with a golden almond and parmesan crumb.
This is a great side dish to accompany roasted chicken or pork.
Ingredients
- 8 ½ ounce artichoke hearts or globe, canned in oil mixture
- 4 cup spinach, raw
- 3 tablespoon, ground almonds, raw
- 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese, dry (grated)
- 1 clove garlic, fresh
- 1 teaspoon lemon peel or zest raw
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium – 2 1/2" diameter white onion
- ½ cup, grated cheddar cheese
- ½ cup, grated mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Finely dice the onion, thinly slice the garlic and cut the artichoke hearts in half. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium heat and add the onion, garlic, lemon zest and artichokes. Sweat gently until tender and the artichoke starts to brown a little – about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir well, cooking briefly until just wilted.
- Add the grated cheddar, mozzarella and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Spoon the cheesy vegetables into a small oven proof baking dish.
- Mix together the parmesan, ground almonds and a little more salt and pepper. Scatter evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes until hot through, bubbling and golden brown on top.
