- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 cup low fat cottage cheese (recipe uses 2%, you can use any)1 cup plain yogurtaprx 1/4 cup fresh finely grated parmesean (loosely piled) or to taste 1 bunch spinach, stems removed, chopped and steamed (or more if you like spinach!)aprx 2 tablespoons each of:Finely chopped red onionfinely chopped canned straw mushroomsfinely chopped water chestnuts1 clove chopped or pressed garlic (or more, to taste)1 tsp ground white or black pepper (to taste)
Chop spinach and start it steaming while prepping other ingredients. Cut it relatively fine - aprx 1 cm X 1 inch wide strips work for me. Steam until just wilted. When done steaming, remove from heat and let cool and drain.
With a hand blender (or real blender) mix together the yogurt, cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Chop the onion, mushrooms and water chestnuts, and stir into the blended mixture. Press the spinach between clean paper towels to remove as much excess water as possible, then stir thoroughly into the mix. Taste, add spices as desired, and serve!
