Categories     Nutmeg

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 6-ounce bag baby spinach
2 plump garlic cloves, halved, green shoots removed
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (more to taste)
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
½ cup finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint (1 tsp dried mint)
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups thickened yogurt or thick Greek style yogurt

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add the spinach and blanch for 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the ice water, cool for a minute, then drain and squeeze dry. Chop coarsely. 2. Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and mash to a paste (alternatively, finely mince). Combine with the lemon juice and olive oil, and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in the yogurt. 3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, dill, parsley and mint. Stir in the yogurt and garlic mixture, and the optional scallions. Add freshly ground pepper to taste and more salt if desired. Serve with bread, pita or raw vegetables.
