• 500 g(1 lb2 oz) english spinach leaves, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
• 150 g(5½ oz) feta cheese, crumbled
• 40 g(1½ oz) parmesan cheese, grated

Put about 1 litre (35 fl oz/4 cups) of water in a large pan, add a little salt and bring to the boil. Add the spinach, return to the boil and simmer for just about a minute, until the spinach has wilted. Drain, reserving the water.

Put the olive oil and garlic cloves in a large frying pan over medium heat. When you can smell the garlic, add the spinach, turning it over with a wooden spoon to collect the oil. Add the feta and 125 ml(4 fl oz/½ cup) of the spinach water. Mix the feta through, mashing it in with the spoon so it dissolves. Still at medium heat, sauté for a couple of minutes until everything has blended together and there is only a bit of liquid left in the pan. Remove from the heat, stir in the parmesan and taste for salt. Serve immediately, with some black pepper for adults only.
