Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients
2 large onions thinly sliced
2 boxes chopped frozen spinach thawed and drained
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 Juice of lemon
3 cloves garlic grated
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
Spray a large deep pan with non-stick spray and heat over medium-high.
Add onion slices and a sprinkle of salt and cook for 20-30 minutes or until fully caramelized. (If you'd like to prepare this traditionally, fry the onions in olive oil.)
Squeeze out spinach with paper towel to ensure all moisture is removed.
In a bowl, mix spinach with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. (This is where my Aunt Paula would also add oil from the fried onions. Now do you see why John and Tanya look so happy above?)
Spread spinach mixture in thin layer on large plate and garnish with caramelized onions on top. Tastes great with pita bread or alone.
Notes
Excellent source of Vitamin A and C. Good source of Calcium and Iron.
