Iranian Yogurt and Spinach Dip - Borani Esfanaaj image

Delicious but you must like walnuts. Modified from a recipe found on http://www.food52.com by shayma.

Provided by UmmBinat

Categories Spinach

Time 30m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 ounces Baby Spinach
1 medium clove garlic
1 tablespoon unrefined extra virgin olive oil, plus more to drizzle
2 cups balkan yogurt (thick type only please)
sea salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried mint (only use dried please!)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (see recipe)

Steps:

Steam baby spinach until just wilted.
Drain well and chop fine.
Mince 1/2 medium clove garlic and saute in 1 tbs unrefined extra virgin olive oil, then add the chopped spinach and a pinch or two sea salt. Stir.
Remove from stove and allow to cool, then squeeze out excess liquid.
Toast chopped walnuts in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Be careful not to burn! Set aside to cool.
In a bowl and the yogurt, other half minced garlic, baby spinach, and dried mint and sea salt to taste, stir gently.
Transfer to the bowl you are serving it in (I use a shallow, round bowl) and sprinkle with toasted, chopped walnuts and a trail of unrefined extra virgin olive oil.
Serve with lavash (flatbread from Iran) or "some crisped-up-in-the-oven whole wheat pita bread!" (Yes we don't do that being gluten free! I use more yogurt and serve this as a salad to mix with Middle Eastern rice dishes.).
Enjoy!

PERSIAN / IRANIAN GHALIEH ESFANAAJ

Persian / Iranian Ghalieh Esfanaaj image

This is a delicious Persian recipe for meatballs with lentils, split peas & black eyed beans. If you don't have Kashk you can use sour cream, also you can use sumac or a little tamarind paste / powder in place of the pomegranate powder or just leave it out. Preparation time doesn't include soaking time!
