Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 30 grams butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 50 milliliters cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop them.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden.
Step 5
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently. Allow the spinach to wilt down before adding more. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Once all the spinach has wilted, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Add the cream, salt, and black pepper, then blend into a smooth mash.
Step 7
Crumble the feta cheese into the spinach mash and stir gently to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Step 8
Return the mash to the skillet and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes to ensure the feta cheese melts slightly and everything is warmed through.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with an extra sprinkle of crumbled feta on top, if desired.
