wilted greens
From Stonesoup
serves 4 as an accompaniment

Nutmeg may seem a little weird but it’s a traditional companion with spinach, especially when it’s wilted.

If you need to cater for vegetarians, you could serve them these wilted greens with a fried egg topped with some of the feta and olives.

1 bunch silverbeet or 2 bunches english spinach
generous knob of butter
freshly grated nutmeg, optional

Place a large saucepan over a high heat.

Wash leaves well, trim stalks and discard and cut the leaves into wide ribbons about 2cm (1in) thick.

Place butter and leaves in the pan and cover . Cook for a minute or so then stir and keep cooking until the greens are just wilted.
