Spinach Saganaki

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
3/4 cup chopped green onions, both white and green parts
3/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes, 3/4” dice
1/2 - 3/4 cup roughly crumbled feta cheese
3 -4 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound spinach, or any roughly chopped, cleaned greens (6 packed cups raw, 1 1/2 cups cooked)

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Mix together all the ingredients except the spinach.

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the spinach and cook just until it wilts (NOTE: The length of cooking time depends on the greens used. Spinach is done after 10 seconds; tougher greens will take longer.) Drain the spinach, quickly squeeze out any excess liquid, and mix it with the other ingredients. (The recipe may be made ahead to this point.)

Put the greens mixture in a 9” glass pie pan or other shallow baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately with crusty bread and olives.
