Directions
Iranian Yogurt and Spinach Dip – Borani Esfanaaj, Delicious but you must like walnuts Modified from a recipe found on food52 com by shayma , Made this last night for us, and finished off earlier today Just as good the second day around The Balkan yogurt combined makes this a winner Went well with the walnuts too I microwaved the walnuts for 15 second to warm them up Tagged and made for The Best of 2012 , (*Original review 9 February 2012 Resubmitted to add a star review *)Delicious and very simple to make! To steam the spinach I placed it in a steamer basket and brought the water to the boil *As soon as* the water came to a boil I immediately removed the spinach and transferred it to a food processor Then the spinach and garlic were chopped finely on the PULSE setting In a clean, dry pan the walnuts were toasted and set aside Cleaned out the pan with a towel and [lightly] cooked the spinach and garlic in olive oil A small amount of the spinach was set aside for garnishing and the rest stirred into the yogurt as directed Walnuts were chopped and garnished around the dip and a few whole walnuts were set aside to garnish on top of the yogurt Made for NA*ME tag/February! Served with: Recipe#473901, Recipe #453533, basic chelo and steamed vegetables Thanks!
