Ingredients

Method

1.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add leek, cumin and paprika, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spinach and cover, then cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 5 minutes or until wilted. Season and set aside to cool.
 

2.

Drain spinach mixture and transfer to the bowl of a food processor or jug of a blender. Add yoghurt and 1⁄2 of the pine nuts. Process until a smooth mixture forms. Transfer to a serving bowl, squeeze over juice from lemon and scatter over remaining pine nuts. Drizzle with extra oil and serve with pita and lemon wedges, if using, on the side.
