Spinach Rounds with Fresh Yogurt

This Recipe was inspired by the Namli restaurant in Istanbul. It will make 6 spinach rounds.

Ingredients
1 Pound Fresh, Washed Spinach Leaves
1 Glug olive oil
1 Tbs Lemon Juice
1 Ts Garlic Powder
1/2 Ts Hot sauce
Dash Salt
Yogurt for Topping

Directions
Take the Spinach leaves and toss them with just a little olive oil (1 ts).














Take the olive oil coated spinach and spread it on a baking sheet.











Then, place it in the broiler on high. Every 2 minutes or so toss the spinach so that each leaf receives some direct heat. After the spinach has wilted by more than half, remove it from the oven. Let the spinach cool to room temperature and then mix it with the lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic and salt. At this point, I used a pair of scissors and cut down the sides of my leaves because some of the stems were long, but this is not a necessary step.

Lastly roll the spinach into 6 1.5 inch diameter boules and top with just a dollop of yogurt.
