Ingredients

• 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

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash the spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry and roughly chop.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted and reduced in volume.

Step 6

Once the spinach is wilted, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well to incorporate.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh dill.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir the feta cheese and dill into the spinach mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before using the filling in your desired recipe (e.g., pastry, pie, or stuffed vegetables).
