A unique blend of wilted greens and spiced cottage cheese makes for a complex and appealing appetizer. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root |
1 green chile pepper, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
2 pounds spinach leaves, cut into 2-inch pieces |
Directions:
1. Mix cottage cheese, 1 clove of garlic, cardamom, and cloves thoroughly in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, ginger, green chile pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted. Drain any excess liquid, and serve the spinach mixture over the seasoned cottage cheese.
