Curried Artichoke Dip
Frozen artichokes are usually of excellent quality and are very convenient to use. Cooking the curry powder for a minute or two takes away the harsh edge of the spice and adds a mellow flavor to this colorful and zesty dip. Serve with an attractive array of prepared raw vegetables, your favorite chips or crackers. You can make the dip up to 2 days ahead of time, and refrigerate it in a covered container.

-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium-sized onion, minced

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, and add onions and celery. Cook, stirring often, until completely softened, for about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, and cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in artichoke hearts, and remove from heat. Cover, and set aside until cooled.
