Ground Whole Wheat Spinach Feta Side-Dish

What I love about this recipe is its simplicity yet flavorful taste! Also, as if that wasn't enough, it is super healthy and it makes a great side dish. 

Here is what you need:

1 garlic clove crushed

2 tsps extra virgin olive oil

2 cups baby spinach

1 1/2 cup boiling water

1 cup ground whole wheat

1/2 feta cheese

1/4 cup lemon juice

pinch of salt

Instructions:

Boil water with a little salt in a sauce pan and add whole wheat. Cook until all the water is  gone and grain is tender, remove from pan and let it cool a little. Meanwhile, heat up olive oil in a pan, add spinach, garlic and a little salt. Saute for a few minutes until spinach is tender and bright green. Don't overcook! Add cooked whole grain, lemon juice, and feta cheese. Mix together and let it cook for a couple minutes so the flavors mix. 

Remove from heat and let it cool for a couple minutes before serving. When plating, sprinkle a little feta on the top, fresh basil, and a little olive oil. Enjoy!
