- 3 medium carrots grated
- 1 leek thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup spinach leaves roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp vegan Greek style yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
Chili oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp turkish red pepper flakes substitute with ¼ tsp cayenne pepper and ¼ tsp paprika powder
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and sliced leeks. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant (5–7 minutes).
Add the spinach and a pinch of salt. Stir until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled vegetables, yogurt, garlic, and additional salt if needed. Stir until well mixed. Transfer to a serving plate and spread nicely.
Make the chili oil. In a small pot or pan add olive oil and chili flakes and heat up until started to sizzle. Drizzle the hot chili oil over the spread. Serve it and enjoy!
