Malunggay (Moringa) & Spinach Cheese Dip

Malunggay & Spinach Cheese dip is nutritious greens in a creamy, cheesy brûleé best served with crispy crostini. This is a signature appetizer in Aracama Filipino Cuisine, one of Chef Fernando “Fern” Aracama’s restaurants. I was glad he shared the recipe with us during a cooking demo at the Maya Kitchen because I have always wanted to serve this to my guests.
Chef Fern says this is a great base where you can add canned artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, asparagus, black olives, capers, smoked salmon, tinapa but keep it whole. It tastes really good with pasta too.
Malunggay & Cheese dip
Here is the recipe:
50 grams blanched and chopped malunggay leaves ** (see blanching tip below)
50grams blanched & chopped Spinach leaves ** (see blanching tip below)
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup cream cheese, room temperature (or substitute for Greek Yoghurt + cottage cheese)
¼ tsp. ground white pepper
1 tsp onion powder (optional but delicious. Fried shallots as substitute)
1/4 tsp sea salt
140 grams grated cheese, your choice- cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, parmesan or blue cheese.
spinach and malunggay
Procedure
