Expert Tips
- Make it smooth – whizz the dip ingredients in a blender or food processor with 25g baby spinach leaves and cook as above.
 - Serve as a canapé by spreading onto crostini and topping with shards of crisply baked parma ham.
 - You can prepare the dip an hour in advance and bake just before serving. Cover and chill in the fridge until required.
