Spinach with Greek Flavors
1 1/2 pounds fresh washed spinach, stems removed
2 - 4 tbls. virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (Greek)
In a large pot cook spinach over medium heat until wilted and soft. Drain well and let cool. Wipe pat dry.
When spinach is cooked, squeeze spinach to get as much water out as possible. Chop it and set aside. Heat spoonful of oil in pan over medium heat, add oregano and stir. Add spinach back and heat. Add feta cheese, olives and mix well. Trickle more olive oil over spinach just to moisten well, serve hot.
