Put the thawed spinach in a colander and cover with paper towels. Squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible. Set aside. Mince the onion quarter. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Immediately add the lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, salt, and Romano cheese. Stir to combine and then set aside. Core, seed, and chop the tomato. Drain and coarsely chop the artichoke hearts. Combine the sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, tomatoes, artichokes, and spinach. Fold into the warm cream mixture. Pour the dip into an ovenproof casserole dish.
