AUNT KATHY'S FRESH SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• 1. Soak spinach in a large bowl of water to remove any grit, drain and repeat if necessary.
• 2. Place spinach in a saucepan, there should be enough water on the leaves -so you won't need any oil. Place the saucepan over high heat and let the spinach wilt, tossing in the pan-so as not to scorch.
• 3. When the spinach is wilted, remove from heat and place in a strainer. Drain and let cool. When cool, gather the leaves and squeeze out as much water as possible.(you will end up with just a small handfull of spinach)
• 4. Chop the spinach and place in a mixing bowl. Heat a small saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 3 -4 minutes or until the shallots are golden brown.
• 5. Add the shallot mixture to spinach bowl. Now add the yogurt and lemon juice and combine. Add the feta and mix together. A salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve. serve with:https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-chowder-soup/lavosh.html?p=1

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.
