Spinach Sauteed with Parmesan
When cooking spinach, for 2 servings, you need about 16 oz (454g) of fresh spinach. It really cooks down as the leaves soften.
You don't need to add water to the pan, as the spinach has enough moisture when it cooks.
2-3 Servings
Ingredients
1 16 oz package of fresh spinach (pre-washed)
2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS butter or Ghee (clarified butter)
(you can use garlic butter)
salt & pepper
2 TBS freshly grated parmesan cheese
pinch of nutmeg
1 Tsp fresh lemon juice
Method
Heat a large pot on medium. When hot, add the oil and butter. Toss the spinach in the pan, stirring occasionally. Add salt & pepper and nutmeg. It should take about 5 minutes.
When all the spinach is wilted, remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and lemon juice. If you have a lemon-flavored olive oil, you can reduce or omit the fresh lemon juice.
Serve as a side dish.
You can also serve a piece of chicken or beef tenderloin on top of the cooked spinach for a nice presentation.
