Creamy Spinach & Dill

The original recipe describes this as "spanakopita in a bowl" and it's not far off, although to really get that spanakopita taste you need to add feta cheese, which we've done here.

The original recipe also has you cooking the spinach, removing and draining it while you cook the sauce, then recombining it. It's been modified slightly to make it a one-pot meal, simmering the sauce slightly longer to cook off the extra moisture.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 lb coarsely chopped spinach
  • ⅓ C heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ C coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • ½ C diced feta

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, or, if frozen, until just thawed.
  4. Add the cream, garlic, and nutmeg. Simmer until it thickens and reduces slightly, ~5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.
  5. Stir in the spinach and feta, and serve.
