Title: Spinach and Feta Dip
Post by: AMH on September 07, 2010, 06:06:21 am

Spinach and Feta Dip:

Ingredients:

Made this afternoon as a quick (mostly!) healthy snack with some crudites.

1 clove garlic

1/2 small brown onion

Olive oil or butter for cooking above

130g baby spinach (could use English spinach)

230g creamy feta (I used Danish)

2 heaping T sour cream (I used light)


Preparation:

Chop onion and garlic sp 7 for 5 sec.

Saute onion and garlic until aromatic (100C for 2 min, sp 1). 

Wash spinach and spin dry and cook 100C 2 min sp3. Add feta (cubed) and sour cream, increase to speed 5 for 30-45 seconds.   

Serve with pita bread, grilled flat bread or cut up vegies!

Photos:
Sorry no photos as battery in the camera is charging!

Tips/Hints:
I don't like a strong garlic or onion flavour but you could def add more as most of the flavour from this came from the feta.   Drain the spinach as much as possible or the end result will be watery.

I hope this works for others!  My first attempt at converting a recipe in the TM!

Would you believe one of the 'dairy' places at the Royal Show was giving tastings of a similar dip to this. Theirs had mascarpone in it though. I preferred this one. ;)
