Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 150 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 100 milliliters vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the fresh spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt. Drain well.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and soft.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the spinach mixture to a blender. Add the low-fat plain Greek yogurt.

Step 10

Blend the mixture until smooth, adjusting the seasoning if necessary. Add more broth if the sauce is too thick.

Step 11

Return the blended sauce to the skillet, heating gently over low heat if serving immediately, or store it in a container for later use.
