Wilted Spinach
This quick stovetop side dish transforms fresh greens into a deeply savory accompaniment for any weeknight dinner. Crisp bacon, chopped onion, and garlic build a rich flavor base in the pan. A pinch of nutmeg adds subtle warmth to the greens as they gently cook down. A final drizzle of fresh lime juice cuts through the richness and brightens the entire plate.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped ( ½ cup)
- 1 slice bacon, cut up
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 lb fresh spinach, stems removed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- 1Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bacon pieces, and garlic. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon turns crisp. Turn the heat down to low.
- 2Stir the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the pot. Add the fresh spinach a few handfuls at a time. Toss the greens gently until they just begin to wilt. Remove from the heat and drizzle the fresh lime juice over the top before serving.
