This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.

Hot Feta and Artichoke Dip by misty

One of my favorite recipes, which I've tweaked to my own preferences. For instance, the original recipe calls for pimentos, but I find them redundent as they add nothing to the flavor and little to the appearence.

I've adapted it from a recipe in the New York Times cookbook, reducing and lightening the sauce to make it both healthier and tastier...in my opinion.
