my emo-side is on vacations

A working colleague was the first to note that my blog is now lacking of sad themes.
No more melancholic, depressive or sarcastic events. If you like these stories, I am
sorry, but the happenings of the last six months have provided me with a more
positive way to see daily life and not to focus on nostalgic thougts...yes, my
emo-side is on vacations, and I'm not sure if emo-scar is coming back!

Today I will simply share with you a nice recipe which you can cook in 15
minutes, and it is a dish to place it in the middle of a table and enjoy it your best friends.

This recipe is perfect to prepare for in autumn: it has less fat, it gives you energy and is full of proteins.

Here is what you will need:

6-8 dates without stone - I know many people don't like dates and raisins, but trust
me, you will like the dish

1 medium red onion cut in slices

2 garlic cloves finely chopped - please don't use a garlic press and after that,
wash your hands carefully rubbing your finger tips with the knife blade, this will
take off the garlic and onion smell!

100 grams of feta cheese - ground it with your bare hands...you will love doing this!

700 grams of fresh spinach OR a package of frozen spinach (usually, they weight 400-500 gramms)

Olive oil and some salt

Cook in a large pan the onions and garlic at low flame for some 5 minutes in plenty of olive oil, then add the dates, then the washed and rinsed spinach and on top the feta. Cover the pan and cook it for 8 minutes at medium flame - stir every now and then. Finally, uncover the pan and cook it for 2 more minutes at high flame so the spinach loss humidity. Taste it and add salt if needed.

Serve on a nice big plate. Give your guests crepes, toasted baguette slices or
warm tortillas to eat it straight from the plate.

This serving is for 4-5 pax as a starter or for two as a main dish

Have a nice day :)
