Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, cooking for 3 minutes until tomatoes soften.
Step 3: Add 4 cups fresh spinach leaves and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, then pour in 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the mixture, cover again, and cook for 2 minutes to warm the cheese before serving.
