Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 30 grams butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 50 milliliters cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Allow the spinach to wilt down before adding more. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once all the spinach has wilted, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the cream, salt, and black pepper, then blend into a smooth mash.
Crumble the feta cheese into the spinach mash and stir gently to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Return the mash to the skillet and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes to ensure the feta cheese melts slightly and everything is warmed through.
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with an extra sprinkle of crumbled feta on top, if desired.
