Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
1 tbsp (15 mL) Western Family Unsalted Butter
1 cup (250 mL) Onion, minced finely
3 Cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp (30 mL) Western Family All-Purpose Flour
1 cup (250 mL) Western Family Chicken Broth
1/2 cup (125 mL) 1% Milk
4 oz (125 g) Western Family Light Cream cheese, cubed
14 oz (398 mL) tin Western Family Artichoke Hearts, drained and chopped
120g tin Western Family Crabmeat, drained
1 tsp (5 mL) Fresh dill, minced

1/2 tsp (2 mL) White pepper
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Lemon rind, finely grated

  4. Stir in cream cheese and continue to stir until dissolved. Fold in artichokes, crabmeat, seasonings and lemon peel. Add hot sauce if using.
  5. To serve, gently stir in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until bubbly and piping hot. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm with toast points and endive leaves for dipping.
