This aromatic wilted spinach with nutmeg butter is a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian side dish that elevates leafy greens into something truly special. By briefly wilting the spinach and then tossing it in a rich, spiced butter, you preserve the vibrant colour of the leaves while adding a deep, earthy warmth. It is an elegant accompaniment to a Sunday roast, grilled fish, or even a simple midweek pasta.
Packed with nutrients and naturally gluten-free, this dish relies on the classic pairing of spinach and nutmeg to create a savoury flavour profile that feels remarkably indulgent. Using a large pan allows the spinach to cook evenly and quickly, ensuring the texture remains silky rather than mushy. It is a fantastic way to serve a generous portion of greens that the whole family will enjoy.
