Ispanak Kavurma (Turkish Spinach)

Ispanak Kavurma (Turkish Spinach)


1. Sauce: Smash the garlic clove with a little bit of salt and combine with the plain yogurt. Set aside.

2. In a pot boil the spinach for 3 1/2-4 minutes, drain. Squeeze as much water out of the spinach that you can then chop it on a cutting board. I used the sides of the colander to "chop" the spinach with the back of a wide spoon.

3. Saute the onion in a medium sized pot with olive oil and salt until the onions are lightly browned. (Tip: cut down on dishes: use the same pot that was used to boil the spinach.).

4. Add the spinach, crushed tomatoes, nutmeg, broth and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Turn the heat off. Allow mixture to cool down for a few minutes.

5. Arrange spinach on a platter. Place the yogurt sauce on top.

6. Garnish: heat up the olive oil in a small pan, add in the red pepper and then turn the heat off being careful not to burn!

7. Drizzle the infused red pepper over the yogurt sauce.
