Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs spinach, stemmed
- 1/2 c heavy cream
- 1/2 t salt
- freshly grated or ground nutmeg to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
Place spinach in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook, covered, in the water clinging to the leaves until wilted; 4-5 minutes. Remove to a colander, rinse quickly, and press out as much water as possible. Finely chop.
Put cream into a large skillet and bring to a boil. Add the cooked spinach and the seasonings. Cook over medium heat until the cream has reduced, about 3 minutes. If the cream reduces more than you want, making the spinach a little dry, moisten if again by adding 2-3 tablespoons of milk, half-and-half or water. Serve hot.
