Wilted Spinach with Nutmeg
Prep: 10 minutes Total: 10 minutes
After rinsing the spinach, leave some water clinging to the leaves. This will help the spinach wilt evenly in the pan, without becoming too soft.
Ingredients
Serves 4.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) fresh spinach, rinsed, tough ends discarded
- 1 pinch of ground nutmeg
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
- In a large deep saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, melt butter over medium heat. Add spinach (with water still clinging to leaves); cover, and cook until wilted, stirring halfway through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Use slotted spoon to serve.
