Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, allowing it to wilt down before adding more. Stir frequently to evenly cook the spinach. Once all the spinach is wilted, remove the skillet from heat.
Step 6
Transfer the spinach mixture to a mixing bowl. Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and mix gently. Add the dried oregano, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the mixture.
Step 7
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the dish.
Step 8
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the spinach mixture.
Step 9
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light vegetarian main course.
