- In a sauté pan on medium high heat melt the butter and add the shallots, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook until they are translucent and add the spinach a handful at a time. Cook until they wilt before adding the next batch.
- Continue this process adding the garlic once half of the spinach has been added to the pan.
