Spinach with Nutmeg and Garlic

 Side dishes don't have to be starchy concoctions that are fattening. This side is easy, quick and delish! It serves four.

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (once around the pan)
  • 1 cup raw mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 bag triple-washed raw spinach (10-12 ounces) stems trimmed
  • Coarse salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 pinches ground nutmeg

  1. Heat garlic and mushrooms, in oil, over medium heat. 
  2. Add spinach and turn in pan until leaves wilt. 
  3. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a couple of pinches of nutmeg – it’s delicious with any dark green. 
  4. Remove from heat and serve warm.
