Spinach With Dill Recipes

LEMON CHICKEN SOUP WITH SPINACH & DILL

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small (3-qt.) Dutch oven or soup kettle over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken thighs, broth, rice, and oregano. Cover, raise the heat to medium high, and bring to a full boil; turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it with a table knife and fork, discarding any obvious fat or gristle. Working in two batches, purée the broth, rice, and onions in a blender until very smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Return the chicken and the thickened broth to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the spinach and dill; cook until the spinach wilts completely, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice.

SPINACH-DILL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roughly chop spinach leaves; set aside. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add spinach; cook until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a colander to cool and drain. When mixture is cool enough to handle, press lightly with paper towels to remove excess moisture; set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, eggs and egg whites, parsley, dill, Parmesan, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in cooled spinach mixture; set aside.
• Dampen a large kitchen towel with water; squeeze dry. Unroll phyllo; place on work surface. Cover with plastic wrap and then the kitchen towel. Lightly coat a 9-inch Pyrex pie plate with cooking spray. Remove 1 sheet of phyllo, keeping remaining phyllo covered; place in prepared baking dish. Coat lightly with cooking spray. Repeat with 7 more sheets of phyllo, spraying between each layer. Trim edges with scissors, leaving a slight overhang.
• Spoon filling into the dish, spreading it evenly. Bake until golden brown and filling is set, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into wedges.

BAKED FRITTATA RECIPE - SPINACH, FETA AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F
• In a medium mixing bowl add 6 eggs, dill, salt and pepper.
• In small bowl add melted butter, milk and flour and mix well until all the lumps are out. Alternatively, instead of this butter and milk mixture you can substitute a 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
• Add butter and milk mixture to egg mixture and mix well with a wisk to add some air and mix well.
• Heat seasoned cast iron skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. When olive oil is heated add onions and sautee until they become softened and translucent. About 3-5 minutes. Add spinach and stir often until spinach becomes wilted. About 3 minutes. Spread spinach and onions evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• Add crumbled feta evenly over top of spinach and onion mixture.
• Pour egg mixture evenly over top of spinach and feta bottom tilting the pan to ensure egg mixture spread evenly. Continue to cook on stove top until the edges of the egg mixture are set. About 2 minutes.
• Move skillet inside oven and continue to bake for 8-10 minutes or until egg mixture in the centre is set. The eggs will fluff up and look like they may explode or boil over but the eggs will deflate when out of the oven and resting. Place a baking sheet underneath if worried. Check if eggs are set in centre by making a small slit in the centre and if the egg mixture runs out leave the frittata in the oven for a few more minutes.
• When done remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve. If using smaller skillets as I have this mixture divides evenly across 3 mini skillets. Follow same instructions but divide oil, feta, spinach and egg mixture evenly between the 3 mini skillets.
• Eat right away or refrigerate for up to 4 days in a sealed container. Eat cold or warm up in the microwave.
