Spinach Potato Stir Fry With Feta And Herbs
When I was little, spinach was always cooked and served with a boiled egg. Tasty, yes, but times have changed. Nowadays, spinach is used in many creative ways, and this stir-fry shows why it's such a favorite.
I love how the sweetness of cherry tomatoes works with the creamy saltiness of feta. The potatoes, lightly browned with dried herbs, make this dish satisfying and warm. Sometimes, I serve it with marinated Greek olives on the side. It's one of those recipes that looks beautiful on the plate but takes little effort.
