Wilted Spinach with Nutmeg ButterRoland Bello

Creamed spinach often gets a dash of nutmeg. With the rest of this meal, you'll be happy to have a lighter (meaning creamless), more basic sautéed spinach, but the nutmeg remains, for a sense of something special.

Cooks' note:

Spinach can be washed and dried 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in paper towels, in a sealed bag.
