Thermomix Spinach Cob Loaf Dip

Thermomix makes light work of a great Spinach Cob Loaf Dip filling! My version here is really very delicious and without the common inclusion of packet soup mix, yet jam packed full of flavour, it is a great choice.

A decadent showstopper perfect for wowing friends and family at social gatherings, I am sharing this recipe in perfect timing for Christmas celebrations.

Whenever I make it, we all sit around and take turns of dipping, ripping bread and dipping some more.

It’s very moreish and be warned: it very well may prevent you fitting in anything that was planned to be eaten after it!

FAQs about Spinach Cob Loaf Dip

Can I make Spinach Cob Loaf Dip vegan?

You sure can! Check out the dairy free / vegan variation underneath the recipe for a cashew cheese based alternative to the dairy.

How do I do it Gluten Free?

Instead of serving the warm dip in a cob loaf, simply serve in a bowl. Dip with veggie sticks and gluten free seed crackers.

Can this be made in advance?

Yes, you can make the dip a day in advance. When you’re almost ready to serve it, heat the dip up and warm the bread, then fill and serve. 

What do we do with the cob loaf once we’ve eaten all the dip out of it?

As the dip gets eaten, tear pieces of the cob loaf and use to dip! You won’t have any left.

I’m not too sure about water chestnuts… Can I leave them out?

You can leave them out if you really want to, recipes are simply guides for us to work from. That said, they add a really great element to this and I encourage you to include them.

Ingredients

  • 1 cob loaf 400-450g, Note 1
  • 25 g fresh basil
  • 150 g red onion quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves 20g
  • 30 g olive oil
  • 250 g cream cheese diced, Note 2

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 180C. Slice the top off the cob loaf. Scoop out the inside, tearing the bread you remove into chunks to dip with later. Place hollowed out cob loaf in the middle of a tray and arrange the chunks of bread and top piece around it. Bake 10-15 minutes, until toasty, then remove from the oven. While the bread bakes, prepare the filling.

  • Add water chestnuts and reserved basil. Combine 4 seconds/speed 4/MC on. Pour into cob loaf. Serve warm.

Notes

1. GLUTEN FREE Instead of serving warm dip inside a cob loaf, serve from a bowl. Use veggie sticks and gluten free crackers for dipping.
2. DAIRY FREE / VEGAN Omit cream cheese and sour cream. Cover 200g raw cashews with boiling water before commencing Step 1. After Step 4, remove onion mixture to a small bowl and set aside. Replace Steps 5 and 6 with the following: Drain cashews and discard the water they were soaking in. Place cashews, 180g water, stock paste and 50g lemon juice in mixer bowl. Blend 1 minute/speed 9/MC on, stopping as needed to scrape down bowl. Add onion mixture, spinach, vegan mayonnaise (Magic Mayonnaise from Lunches and Snacks Made Easy, or store bought) and pepper. Mix 10 seconds/speed 4/MC on. Scrape down bowl, then heat 5 minutes/90/speed 2/MC on. Add water chestnuts and reserved basil. Combine 4 seconds/speed 4/MC on. Pour into cob loaf. Serve warm.
3. TO MAKE IN ADVANCE Skip Step 1 and skip the heating component of Step 5. Make dip and store in the fridge. Heat cob loaf and dip when needed.

Love this dip! Particularly love the vegan version (I’ve tried both now and both are great, but dairy free just feels a little healthier and lighter). Partner also loves and said he prefers df as well.
