    Serves: 4-6

    Ingredients

    2 tbsp olive oil
    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    300g baby spinach
    20g unsalted butter
    20g pine nuts
    400g Greek yogurt

    1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the spinach and season. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
