Ingredients

  • ½ Tablespoon olive oil
  • 300 g (~ 10 oz) frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic puree (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • ½ red bell pepper
  • ½ mild red chilli
  • 3 Tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 50 g (~ ½ cup) grated mature cheddar cheese
  • Few sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan, and add the frozen spinach and the garlic. Cook over a medium heat until the spinach is fully defrosted and any excess liquid has been cooked off (5-10 minutes). Alternatively, you can microwave the frozen spinach to defrost, and then thoroughly squeeze out any liquid.
  • Transfer the spinach to a mixing bowl, and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dice the bell pepper, and finely chop the chilli.
  • When the spinach is fairly cool, add the remaining ingredients, and mix well to combine. Place the bowl in the fridge, and serve chilled.

Notes

This cold spinach dip can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Prepare the dip at least an hour before serving, to allow it to chill fully.
