MIDDLE EASTERN SPINACH WITH SPICES AND YOGURT
This is a wonderful way to eat your spinach. You find variations of the dish from Turkey through the Middle East. I love the subtle spices and the cool yogurt spooned over the hot spinach.

Steps:
- Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the clove, allspice berries, and coriander seeds or cumin seeds. Heat, shaking the pan, until the spices begin to smell toasty, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for a few minutes, then grind in a spice mill. Add the cinnamon, and set aside.
- In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt to a paste, and stir into the yogurt. Set aside.
- Place the baby spinach in a bowl and pour on boiling water to cover. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then drain, rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess water, and chop coarsely.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet and add the pine nuts. Cook, stirring, until they begin color (2 to 3 minutes), then remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the spices to the oil. When they begin to sizzle, cook for about 30 seconds and add the spinach, toasted pine nuts, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is heated through and coated with the oil and spices, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and spoon the yogurt over the top. This is very nice served with Arabic bread.

INDIAN-SPICED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND TURMERIC YOGURT
In this quick meal, sautéed spinach flecked with ginger, chile and garam masala are paired with eggs and used to top toasted pitas spread with turmeric yogurt. The pitas were chosen for their uniform size, but naan or flatbread would work equally well; you want something sturdy to stand up to the moisture of the yogurt and spinach. An olive oil-fried egg tops this dish, but if you prefer poached have at it - that runny yolk is a key element.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the yogurt and turmeric in a small bowl, season with salt and set aside. Toast the pitas on a sheet pan in the oven until they're warmed through and beginning to crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and chile and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Begin adding in the spinach by the handful, tossing it frequently to encourage wilting. Gradually add more as it cooks down, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Season with salt.
- While the spinach cooks, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the undersides are crispy and the yolk is still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spread the turmeric yogurt on the toasted pitas and top each with spinach and then a fried egg. Scatter cilantro over the top, if using, and serve.
