Spinach Borani

This Persian dip is super simple but so delicious & refreshing - perfect for this weather! I love eating it on toast with a poached egg.

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil 
1 garlic clove, minced 
250g spinach
400g Greek yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt & pepper

20g butter 
20g pine nuts 

Recipe
1. Add the olive oil to a pan on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and spinach. Season with salt & pepper and cook 3 minutes or until the spinach has wilted. Put the spinach in a sieve to drain the excess liquid and set aside to cool.
2. Add the butter to a pan on medium heat. Once melted and beginning to brown, add the pine nuts and a pinch of salt. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat. Fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pine nuts are golden.
3. Once the spinach has cooled, finely chop it. Add the greek yoghurt, spinach & lemon juice to a mixing bowl. Stir and taste for seasoning.
4. Put the dip in serving bowls and top with the butter and pine nuts. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
