Afghan Spinach Appetizer Dip image

This recipe came from an Afghanistan cookbook, that I think came out in the 1990's (from Minnesota). I don't remember the title, but their recipes were very good.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch fresh spinach
1 yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup corn oil
2 cups plain yogurt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
pita bread

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach several times to remove any sand, and finely chop.
  • Put water into a medium-size saucepan until it comes up about 1" from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the spinach and boil over high heat for five minutes.
  • Drain.
  • In a large frying pan, over medium-high heat, put the oil and onion.
  • Stir-fry until the onion is tender, adding the garlic the last couple of minutes.
  • Add the cooked spinach and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Turn off heat and let cool.
  • In a serving bowl mix together the yogurt, spinach mixture, cayenne, salt, pepper and ground coriander.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • The mixture needs to sit for a while in the fridge so that the flavors can marry.
  • Serve with pita bread or naan.
