BORANI-YEH ESFENAJ (SPINACH YOGURT DIP)



Borani-yeh Esfenaj (Spinach Yogurt Dip) image

There are many types of Iranian borani, or yogurt-based dishes, and spinach borani is a classic. What sets borani-yeh esfenaj apart from a simple mix of wilted spinach and yogurt is that the spinach is first cooked down with flavorful golden onions, garlic and turmeric. The preparation of the onion is the backbone of the dish and not to be overlooked. Rather than cooking the onion low and slow, as is done when caramelizing, it's cooked quickly over a higher heat to draw out its sweet and sharp flavors. Creamy Greek yogurt is mixed with thinner regular yogurt for a balanced consistency. Use more or less of either depending on your preference: You can serve the borani thicker as a dip with pita crackers or flat breads, or thinner as a light lunch or snack alongside rice.

Time 2h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated
Salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
12 ounces fresh baby spinach, or thawed frozen spinach (no need to squeeze)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon regular plain yogurt (or water; see Tip), plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more juice to taste

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) pan, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the garlic, sprinkle with a little salt, stir and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the turmeric, stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add about half the spinach and increase the heat to medium. Using tongs, quickly and continuously toss the spinach with the onion mixture until slightly wilted and reduced in volume. Add the rest of the spinach, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss and cook until the spinach is wilted and any liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat slightly if the spinach releases too much water. Transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • To the cooled spinach, add the Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir well to combine, and add salt to taste. If the mixture is too thick, thin out with more regular yogurt, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and add more salt and lemon juice as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Stir to combine, then drizzle with olive oil and serve.

IRANIAN YOGURT AND SPINACH DIP - BORANI ESFANAAJ



Iranian Yogurt and Spinach Dip - Borani Esfanaaj image

Delicious but you must like walnuts. Modified from a recipe found on http://www.food52.com by shayma.

Provided by UmmBinat

Categories     Spinach

Time 30m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces Baby Spinach
1 medium clove garlic
1 tablespoon unrefined extra virgin olive oil, plus more to drizzle
2 cups balkan yogurt (thick type only please)
sea salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried mint (only use dried please!)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Steam baby spinach until just wilted.
  • Drain well and chop fine.
  • Mince 1/2 medium clove garlic and saute in 1 tbs unrefined extra virgin olive oil, then add the chopped spinach and a pinch or two sea salt. Stir.
  • Remove from stove and allow to cool, then squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Toast chopped walnuts in a dry frying pan until fragrant. Be careful not to burn! Set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl and the yogurt, other half minced garlic, baby spinach, and dried mint and sea salt to taste, stir gently.
  • Transfer to the bowl you are serving it in (I use a shallow, round bowl) and sprinkle with toasted, chopped walnuts and a trail of unrefined extra virgin olive oil.
  • Serve with lavash (flatbread from Iran) or "some crisped-up-in-the-oven whole wheat pita bread!" (Yes we don't do that being gluten free! I use more yogurt and serve this as a salad to mix with Middle Eastern rice dishes.).
  • Enjoy!

  • Drain the yogurt to thicken it: Line a sieve or colander with cheesecloth or a cotton cloth. Moisten the cloth with water. Set the sieve or colander over a bowl and add the yogurt. Set aside, loosely covered, to drain for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the tough stems from the spinach. Wash the spinach thoroughly in several changes of water and drain well. Coarsely chop and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wide heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, lower the heat to medium, and fry the onion until translucent and touched with color, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a plate and set aside. Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high and add the spinach, turning it to expose it to the hot surface. Add about 1⁄2 cup water and cook, pressing and turning the spinach, until it is well wilted and deep green, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the spinach to a bowl to cool slightly. Once the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze it thoroughly, a handful at a time, to press out excess water.
  • Transfer the spinach to a bowl, add 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and mix well. Turn the thickened yogurt out into a bowl; you’ll have about 1 cup. Add the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and the water to loosen the yogurt slightly and stir. (Save the whey for another purpose or discard.) Add the yogurt to the spinach and stir gently to mix them a little, but not into a smooth blend, leaving the mixture with patches of white and dark green. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Strew on the fried onions, sprinkle with the saffron water and toasted walnuts if you wish, and serve.
