Yoghurt Creamed Spinach

Creamed spinach (or most greens) always feels like coming home to me. There’s something deeply nourishing about this combo that makes it one of my favourite sides- so much so I might even be tempted into making it a main!

Makes 1 main Serve (or 2 sides)

Cook Time - 10 mins

Equipment - Cooktop

Ingredients

• 300g Raw Spinach

• 1 small onion (or 1/2 large one)

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice

• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper (to taste)

• 1/2 tsp Salt (to taste)

• 1/2 tsp freshly grated Nutmeg (to taste)

• 1/2 cup (125ml) Greek Yoghurt

Method

1. Wash spinach well (it tends to hold dirt) and chop roughly

2. Dice onion (medium)

3. Fry until soft and golden

4. Crush garlic and add to pan

5. Add spinach and cover to allow to wilt before stirring

6. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, nutmeg and stir through

7. Take off the heat and add yoghurt, stirring to combine well

8. Serve and top with styrian oil and toasted pepitas (optional but delicious)

9. Enjoy with any protein and wholegrain!

Tips

• Tips- wash the spinach bunch upside down to allow dirt to run out

• Variations- swap out the nutmeg for smoked paprika or zaatar

• Serving suggestions- delicious alongside roast chickpeas and brown rice or any wholegrain and protein or as a topper to baked sweet potato

• Store refrigerate in airtight container for up to 4 days
