This is real good Miss Annie. I have myself posted a few spinach recipes but this tasted different from the usual Indian way of cooking spinach. I reduced the butter a bit. Love easy to cook and great tasting recipes. Give me more !

I thought this was a nice spinach recipe. I actually just followed one of the other reviewers recommendations and melted the butter, added the garlic for a minute, then added fresh spinach til it wilted nicely. Good stuff. Used seasoning salt in place of regular salt which was really nice. I topped my spinach with a stuffed portabello mushroom. Thanks for sharing.

This is so good that I nearly ate the entire dish myself! Only change I made was to use a large covered 5 quart saute pan in which I sauteed the garlic, then added two packages of fresh spinach with no additional water. I love to save a pot LOL! Stirred a few times until wilted, then added remaining ingredients. The addition of pine nuts and hint of nutmeg is delicious. Thanks, Miss Annie, for a recipe I'll use often!
