How To Make aunt kathy's fresh spinach dip

  • 1
    Soak spinach in a large bowl of water to remove any grit, drain and repeat if necessary.

    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.

    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)

    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.
