Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry and roughly chop.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted and reduced in volume.
Once the spinach is wilted, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to incorporate.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh dill.
Once cooled, stir the feta cheese and dill into the spinach mixture until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before using the filling in your desired recipe (e.g., pastry, pie, or stuffed vegetables).
