Step 1

Place the spinach in a medium saucepan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place over low heat. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is just wilted. Remove from heat. Transfer to a colander and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Use your hands to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Place the spinach in the bowl of a food processor.

Step 2

Add the ricotta, feta, green shallot, lemon juice and garlic and process until almost smooth and well combined. Taste and season with salt. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Step 3

Preheat a chargrill on high. Brush both sides of bread with oil. Cook one-quarter of the bread on preheated grill for 1 minute each side or until toasted. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining bread.

Step 4

Serve spinach & feta dip with chargrilled bread.
