ARTICHOKE CREAM CHEESE 2 cloves of garlic 5-8 artichoke heart halves in water 4 Tbsp FF Cottage Cheese Cayenne, to taste Black Pepper, to taste Fresh Cilantro, to taste (or Basil, etc) Bake or microwave garlic if possible, to make it milder and sweeter. Add to food processor with artichoke hearts and fresh herb of choice. Chop. Get the artichoke pieces as small as possible, but making a puree is by no means nescessary. Add cottage cheese and other spices and "puree" until the lumps in the cottage cheese are gone and the mixture is creamy.
