SPINACH:
- We have to make sure to fully thaw it and strain out any extra water but we have to use the fresh spinach works best.
ARTICHOKE:
- We can use the artichoke hearts in a jar or can. We can drain and rinse them if you’re using an artichoke to lessen any salty taste. We can also use the marinated artichokes to make it more flavorful.
