Wilted Garlic Spinach

Submitted by Annie in Istanbul

"I saw this recipe made on an Italian cooking show, it was all in Italian, but the recipe was so easy to follow I didn't need to know the language. You can use either fresh spinach, or frozen, but if you do, make sure the excess moisture has been squeezed out. I served it with roasted chicken."

I made this to go with some salmon I was making and had it on the side. I didn't add the nutmeg, as the dish I was having had lots of flavors in it already. Next time I will try it with the nutmeg, when I have it with something different.

I went to dinner at a restaraunt a few weeks ago that had this exact spinach underneath a fresh tuna steak. This is JUST what I was looking for! It is super easy and super healthy! I will make this many more times!!! Thank you so much for sharing! LA :-)
