Afghan Spinach Appetizer Dip

    This is a really good recipe, thanks! And everyone I served it to at a dinner party loved it. I substituted olive oil, and also farmer's cheese rather than yogurt. I strongly recommend the farmer's cheese (i.e., homemade cottage cheese type thing) - yogurt would have been way, way, way too runny. Farmers cheese gave it the perfect texture, and reminded me very much of a dish I ate regularly in villages once upon a time when hiking Pakistan's Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountains. My other major comment/correction on this is that "bunch" of spinach is way too vague - it was totally unclear to me how much spinach I needed. I chopped all the onions, and then after preparing what I thought was a generous quantity of spinach, I still had more onions than cooked spinach! used a lot less onions and sort of eyeballed all the ingredients after that. Like I said, it turned out great but be prepared to improvise on the proportions.
