Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing. Fresh spinach will have a crisp texture and a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can harbor dirt and grit, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before cooking.
  • Cook the spinach quickly: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Nutmeg and lemon are classic seasonings for spinach, but you can also experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Spinach is best served immediately after cooking. If you need to store it, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
