1 packet frozen spinach (drained very well)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tubs sour cream
1 packet spring vegetable soup mix
2 spring onions
1 tin crab meat
Method: You must drain the spinach of all juice. Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl.
Place in fridge - Best to make the day before.
Cut the top of the cob loaf as the lid. Pull out the bread inside (keep).
On the day you want to use, pour the dip into the cob.
Place lid on top and serve with the inside bread, carrot and celery sticks.

But do you eat the outside loaf???
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't eat it at all - isn't frozen spinach meant to be cooked before consumption?!
ReplyDeleteI remember eating something similar at a university party and being completely bowled over - i'd never seen dip served in a cob before. it's a great party dish.
ReplyDeleteps i guess you could gently cook the spinach first?
ReplyDeleteI guess that would be safest, Christina - I suspect the roots of this dish are American and perhaps it lost a few instructions en route: all the most, er, unusual, dips seem to come from there.
