Step 1: Prepare the Spinach and Oil

Place the fresh spinach in a large pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over the spinach.

Step 2: Add Onions

Add the finely chopped red onion (or white onion) to the pot with the spinach.

Step 3: Season the Spinach

Season the spinach mixture with 1 teaspoon of basil, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of garlic pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of sage. Add salt to taste.

Step 4: Sauté Until Wilted

Cook the spinach on medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula, for about 5-7 minutes. Continue cooking until all the spinach leaves are thoroughly wilted and have released their own liquid. No additional water is needed for this process.

Step 5: Serve

Once cooked, serve the delicious sautéed spinach hot as a healthy and flavorful side dish.

• Do not add water; the spinach will release its own liquid as it cooks.

• Nutmeg is a key ingredient that enhances the natural flavor of spinach.

• Adjust seasoning amounts to your personal taste.

• Add minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor.

• Use white onions instead of red onions if preferred.
