Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound tiny new potatoes
12 ounces whole onion or 11 ounces ready-cut (2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 10-ounce package fresh spinach or 1 pound loose spinach
1 cup frozen peas
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes, and put in a pot with water to cover. Cover pot, and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes, depending on size.
  • Chop whole onion. Saute onion in a nonstick pan in very hot oil over medium-high heat, until it begins to soften and brown.
  • Mince garlic, and add to onion as it cooks.
  • Wash spinach; remove tough stems, and cook spinach in covered pot in the water clinging to it, until it wilts, 4 or 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  • Stir peas into onion mixture and cook 2 or 3 minutes.
  • When spinach is cooked, drain it, thoroughly pressing the water out. Cut up and add to cooked onion, along with nutmeg and yogurt.
  • When potatoes are cooked, drain and cut into bite-size pieces and stir into spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough salt. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I'll definitely try it again.
