SPINACH AND YOGURT DIP WITH FRIED GARLIC

Servings: 3 people

Ingredients

  • 150-200 grams spinach
  • 1 ¼ cups yogurt (see notes)
  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Oil, to fry the garlic
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Coarsely chop the garlic (see picture for size reference). Fry in oil until golden. Keep an eye out as they’ll quickly darken and turn bitter. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Add the spinach to a pan with a splash of water. Cook until just wilted - no more than 2-3 mins. Rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further.
  • Squeeze handfuls of the spinach in your hands to remove excess moisture. Coarsely chop and add to a bowl. Stir in the yogurt, onion, and salt.
  • Top with extra virgin olive oil and fried garlic. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use thick Greek style yogurt for this. If your yogurt is too loose, hang in muslin or drain out the whey in a colander before using.
