WILTED GARLIC SPINACH



Wilted Garlic Spinach image

I saw this recipe made on an Italian cooking show, it was all in Italian, but the recipe was so easy to follow I didn't need to know the language. You can use either fresh spinach, or frozen, but if you do, make sure the excess moisture has been squeezed out. I served it with roasted chicken.

Categories     Spinach

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 kg fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 -6 cloves garlic, more or less to your garlic preference
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a pan.
  • Add the garlic, either chopped or smashed.
  • Cook the garlic for about 3 minutes.
  • Add spinach and with tongs, turn constantly until wilted.
  • Sprinkle with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Spinach: Select young, tender spinach with deep green leaves for the best flavor and texture.
  • Wash Spinach Thoroughly: Rinse the spinach multiple times in cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Wilted spinach should retain its vibrant green color and slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use High-Quality Butter: Unsalted butter is preferred, as it allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Toast the Nutmeg: Toasting the nutmeg intensifies its flavor and aroma. Alternatively, you can use pre-ground nutmeg, but the taste will be less pronounced.
  • Season to Taste: Adjust the salt, pepper, and nutmeg according to your preference.

Conclusion:

Wilted spinach with nutmeg butter is a simple yet elegant side dish that complements various main courses. Its vibrant green color and nutty flavor make it a visually appealing and delicious addition to any meal.
