A delicious cheese, onion and spinach dip
Ingredients:
- 10 ounces fresh spinach, well rinsed, stemmed, and chopped
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
- ¼ olive oil
- 1 tbsp minced fresh dill or mint (1 tsp dried)
- ⅓ cup grated feta cheese
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions:
- In a covered saucepan, cook the still-damp spinach for a few minutes on medium heat, stirring a couple of times, until it is limp but still bright green. In a colander or sieve, gently press the cooked spinach to squeeze out the excess moisture. Set it aside.
- Saute the onions, scallions, and garlic in the olive oil. When the onions are translucent, stir in the spinach and the dill, and heat for about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, and pressing out any excess liquid, transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl. Stir in the feta and yogurt. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Serve well chilled with French bread rounds, crackers, wedges of pita bread, or vegetable sticks.
