The cob loaf has made a comeback! Once a staple of every dinner party in the 1970s, this easy starter is back on the menu and for good reason - it's easy to make and made for sharing. Just dip and enjoy.

Ingredients

1 large regular white cob bread loaf or multigrain sourdough cob loaf (450g)

cucumbers, cut into matchsticks, to serve

raw carrot, cut into matchsticks, to serve

Dip

150 g short-cut bacon rashers, finely chopped

1 large bunch English spinach (350g), trimmed, washed, finely chopped

3 green spring onions, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

250 g block cream cheese, chopped, at room temperature

200 g Greek feta, crumbled

300 ml tub sour cream

1 tbsp lemon juice

⅓ cup chopped fresh dill

Method

  1. Using a serrated knife, cut the top quarter off cob loaf to form a lid. Pull away the soft bread from inside the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell. Tear bread and lid into large pieces. Place loaf, lid and bread pieces on an oven tray lined with baking paper.
  2. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove.
  3. To make dip, heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add bacon. Stir for about 5 minutes, or until light golden. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
  4. Return pan to heat. Add spinach, onions and garlic. Stir for about 1 minute, or until spinach is wilted. Drain off excess liquid. Transfer to a large bowl. Add bacon. Cool.

  5. Process both cheeses, cream and juice in a food processor until smooth. Stir into spinach mixture with dill.
  6. Just before serving, spoon mixture into loaf. Serve with torn bread and vegetable dippers.
