A wonderful variation is this Crespi artichoke sauce and paté, which, unlike other patés, is completely vegetarian. This artichoke sauce it is made using only the highest quality hearts combined with other simple ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt and herbs from the Italian Riviera.
Artichoke heart dip can be used in a number of delicious ways. For a simple appetizer or afternoon snack serve with crackers, pita bread, pretzels or a chunk of warm, crusty bread. Other appetizer ideas include using it as a dip for veggies like carrots and cucumbers or using it as a base for some unique tomato bruschetta. Many people say that the best way to use an artichoke sauce/paté is to spread it on a sandwich.
