Spanakopita Spinach And Artichoke Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    11 ounces Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
    1 (398 ml) jar artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
    6 scallions, finely chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/2 lb light feta, crumbled
    4 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons of fresh mint, finely chopped
    5 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt
    1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
    extra virgin olive oil
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Pre-heat the oven to 350F/175\u00b0C.
    Make sure the vegetables and herbs are dry before chopping them. This is to avoid the dip being too watery.
    In a lightly oiled pan, sautee the garlic for about 30 seconds.
    Add in the spinach, dill, scallions and mint, and sautee for approx 3-5 minutes or until the veggies have wilted.
    Remove from pan and drain any excess liquid.
    In a large bowl, mix together the wilted vegetables, crumbled feta, and artichokes. Add in salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
    Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture into a baking dish, and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
    Right before serving, stir in the yogurt and lemon juice. Mix well and serve.
