Spinach ... how do you cook it please?

[Millie1]

Assume the basic method is simpy to wilt with a little water and maybe some butter but recall seeing a recipe for spinach done with cream & nutmeg. Any ideas please. TIA

Ingredients
1 large bag of spinach, washed and stalks removed
10g of butter
salt and pepper

Method

1. Remove the stalks and wash the spinach.
2. Wilt the spinach in a hot pan; add the butter, season, mix and serve.

You don't need much at all and it takes hardly any time at all, I put it on a low heat with a knob of butter, nutmeg if req'd and lots of black pepper and wait for it to wilt, if you want to add cream stir it in afterwards when it has collapsed down.

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the garlic and spring onions. Sweat for 3-4 minutes over a low-to-medium heat.
2. Add the spinach leaves to the pan, stir well, and allow to cook for two minutes until wilted.
