Athenian Spinach

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter.

Ingredients:
1 large onion finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic finely chopped
2 tsp olive oil
2 bunches of spinach
50 grams feta cheese- chopped up
1/4 cup walnuts (or any nuts you like except peanuts)
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
salt
pepper

Method:
  1. Heat oil in a pan.
  2. With the flame on MEDIUM HIGH, add the chopped onions and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
