Hints & Tips
-
If you are using fresh spinach, remember to remove the leaves from the stalks by simply running a sharp knife down each side of the central spine. Rinse well, pat dry and roughly chop.
-
When the spinach starts losing its bright green colour then you know that it’s reached its maximum cooking time.
-
80g SPAR Freshline sundried tomatoes (roughly chopped) and/or a pouch of SPAR black mission olives can be included with the feta to add new flavours, texture and colour to the dish.
-
Stir in 125g SPAR fat free smooth cottage cheese just before serving to create an optional creamy sauce with no fat!
