Total time: 10 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter; 2 packages (10 ounces each) fresh spinach, rinsed, tough ends discarded; 1 pinch ground nutmeg; Coarse salt and ground pepper

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. Try serving with Pork Chops with Apples and Shallots.
