"Spinach is susceptible of receiving all imprints: It is the virgin wax of the kitchen." -Grimod de la Reyniere, 18th century French gourmand

The refrigerator light goes on...

I use sesame oil in this spinach recipe, but if you are serving a main dish that would be overpowered by the sesame flavor, use olive oil.

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied. This keeps well and makes a good addition to sandwiches, salads, and egg dishes.

fresh spinach in a bowl

Ingredients

Heat oil over high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add sesame seeds and cook for about two minutes, stirring continuously so that they do not burn.

Add the spinach and cook quickly over high heat, tossing frequently.

As it begins to wilt, add the sherry, honey and nutmeg.

Cook until the spinach is very hot, stirring frequently.

When the spinach is wilted, but still bright green, it is done. This should take only about 2 minutes.
