Notes
To easily squeeze the liquid from frozen spinach and artichokes:Place the ingredients in the center of a clean tea towel or something similar. Gather the edges to close the ingredients inside and then begin to twist the ends together so that the liquid from the spinach and artichoke are forced through the tea towel as you tighten. Squeeze until little to no liquid comes through.
