====== Simple Saag Feta ======

Prep:

  - Chop **1 small onion**
  - Finely chop **1 garlic clove**
  - Coarsely chop **1 small green chile**

Cook:

  - Heat **0.25 cup vegan butter** in a large skillet over medium.
  - Cook **2 Tbsp coriander seeds** and **0.25 tsp ground cardamom** a couple of minutes, stirring constantly until starting to brown.
  - Add chopped onion and cook until translucent.
  - Mix in garlic and cook another minute.
  - Add **1 lb baby spinach** by the handful and cook until all the spinach is just wilted.
  - Remove from heat and add green chile, **1.5 tsp fresh lime juice**, and **salt** to taste.
  - Let cool a few minutes and then blend into a coarse paste.
  - Return to pan, stir in 0.5 cups water and gently fold in **6oz feta cut into 1" pieces**. Reduce 5-7 minutes.

Serve over rice.

Notes:

  * Violife feta works well, it has a strong flavor that fits. It will melt in, so fold it in right before serving instead of reducing it with the rest.
