  • 1½ pounds (2 bunches) fresh spinach
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh mint or 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

    • How To Cook:
    1. Wash the spinach thoroughly and drain. Remove coarse stems and chop finely.

    2. Put in a covered casserole and cook in the microwave oven until barely tender (about 4 to 5 minutes).

    3. Add the onion and oil to the spinach and mix carefully so as not to mash the vegetable.

    4. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and mint to the yogurt. Stir gently into the spinach.

    5. Chill. Garnish with the nuts.

    TIP:
        Take care not to overcook the spinach and to allow for residual cooking. The spinach should be tender but not mushy.
