Simple Spinach Dip



 For the Avant Garde Cookies this time, my hush-hush ingredient was spinach given to me by my partner Jayanthy. I had some fresh baby spinach handy which i used to put this dip together...

Ingredients

  • 2cups of baby spinach leaves
  • 2 red chilies
  • 1.5 cups of thick yogurt (greek would work)
  • 1tbsp of spices 
  • 1tsp olive oil





Method

  1. Sautee the spinach with 1 tsp of olive oil and the chilies. 
  2. Add salt. cook and remove from heat
  3. If the yogurt has some whey, use this to grind the spinach not too smooth
  4. Add the yogurt to the blended spinach
  5. Top this with 1 tbsp of spices of your choice - Tzatsiki, or your home blend of thyme, garlic, parsely, oregano etc
  6. Whip it in until blended well
  7. Refrigerate until ready to use.


We enjoyed ours with steamed sweet potatoes!
