Chef, cookbook author and television host Tyler Florence says that when you add a Meyer lemon to just about anything, it instantly becomes not only a better version of itself—thanks to the sweet-tart nature of the citrus—but a California version of itself. The trees of this softer-skinned citrus grow particularly well in California, and the fruits are typically juicier than their Eureka counterparts, with more of an orange flavor than puckering lemon. It elevates this classic dip into something worthy of a fancy dinner party, especially when you let it bubble and broil on the grill. Serve it with chips, crackers, vegetables or bread. Or just down it with a spoon when nobody’s watching, says the chef. The dip can be cooked in a grill-safe baking dish or in a stainless-steel fry pan, which is fine to use on an outdoor grill. This recipe is featured in Florence’s new cookbook, American Grill: 125 Recipes for Mastering Live Fire.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (10 oz./280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 jar (15 oz./430 g) marinated artichoke hearts
  • 8 oz. (225 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (1 3/4 oz./55 g) shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 1/2 oz./50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) sour cream
  • 2 tsp. grated Meyer lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. Meyer lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat, and set it up with two zones: a hot side and cold (less hot) side, for direct and indirect cooking. You want the temperature to hover around 400°F (205°C).

In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Monterey jack, Parmesan, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice and thyme until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spread the mixture in a 1-quart (1-1) cast-iron or other grill-safe dish or in a grill-safe fry pan and place on the cooler side of the grill. Close the grill and cook until the dip is bubbling and hot, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm. Serves 4.
