Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

10 ounces spinach, trimmed
Coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
2 teaspoons tahini paste

This spread is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice to give it more flavor.
