I still can't wrap my brain around Pinterest. It's too much for me - image overload, too many ideas, too many GOOD ideas. I was perfectly content before realizing the Internet is more creative than I am. That said, I do "pin things" from time to time and I do come across some ideas I can't pass up - like this Quinoa Spanakopita I saw the other day. However, the recipe seemed a little complex for the pea-sized brain I'm sporting these days. So I came up with my own, simpler version using ready-in-5-minutes couscous instead. And it was delicious. Take that Creative Internet People!
Saute about 1/4 cup chopped white onion and 1 clove of minced garlic in a little olive oil until slightly caramelized...
Toast about 1/4 cup of pine nuts until golden brown...
Add 1 pkg. of thawed, chopped, frozen spinach to onions. Sprinkle with paprika, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Saute until spinach is warmed through...
Make couscous from a box. Add spinach mixture, pine nuts and crumbled feta.
Flake with fork and serve...
