WILTED GARLIC SPINACH
I saw this recipe made on an Italian cooking show, it was all in Italian, but the recipe was so easy to follow I didn't need to know the language. You can use either fresh spinach, or frozen, but if you do, make sure the excess moisture has been squeezed out. I served it with roasted chicken.

BORANI-YEH ESFENAJ (SPINACH YOGURT DIP)
There are many types of Iranian borani, or yogurt-based dishes, and spinach borani is a classic. What sets borani-yeh esfenaj apart from a simple mix of wilted spinach and yogurt is that the spinach is first cooked down with flavorful golden onions, garlic and turmeric. The preparation of the onion is the backbone of the dish and not to be overlooked. Rather than cooking the onion low and slow, as is done when caramelizing, it's cooked quickly over a higher heat to draw out its sweet and sharp flavors. Creamy Greek yogurt is mixed with thinner regular yogurt for a balanced consistency. Use more or less of either depending on your preference: You can serve the borani thicker as a dip with pita crackers or flat breads, or thinner as a light lunch or snack alongside rice.

Steps:
- In a large (12-inch) pan, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the garlic, sprinkle with a little salt, stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the turmeric, stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add about half the spinach and increase the heat to medium. Using tongs, quickly and continuously toss the spinach with the onion mixture until slightly wilted and reduced in volume. Add the rest of the spinach, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss and cook until the spinach is wilted and any liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat slightly if the spinach releases too much water. Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
- To the cooled spinach, add the Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir well to combine, and add salt to taste. If the mixture is too thick, thin out with more regular yogurt, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Stir to combine, then drizzle with olive oil and serve.

WILTED SPINACH WITH GARLIC CHIPS
Steps:
- Place a large skillet on the stove and add the oil and garlic chips. Turn heat onto low and let the garlic chips fry up until golden, flipping them around from time to time, about 5 minutes. Remove the crisp garlic chips with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the spinach to the pan, turning with tongs to wilt it all in. Season the spinach with the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with the garlic chips.
Tips:
- Select the freshest spinach: Choose spinach with vibrant green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing. Fresh spinach will cook down quickly and retain its nutrients.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach under cold water several times to remove any dirt or debris. You can also soak the spinach in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to help remove any grit.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from overcrowding. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the spinach in batches.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its vibrant green color.
- Season the spinach to taste: Salt and pepper are classic seasonings for spinach, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes are all popular additions.
- Serve the spinach immediately: Wilted spinach is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the spinach, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Wilted spinach with garlic chips is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With just a few ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can have a healthy and flavorful dish that the whole family will love.
