Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt.

Add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute, just until wilted.

Chop the spinach into roughly 3/4-inch strips.

In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté the garlic and onions over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, until the onions become translucent.

Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the skillet.

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until well combined.

Add the sour cream and cook for an additional 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Notes
-
For extra richness, substitute half the sour cream with heavy cream.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a mild heat.
-
Grated Parmesan cheese can be mixed in for extra texture.
-
Frozen spinach can be used—just ensure it’s thawed and excess water squeezed out.
