SPINACH COOKED IN BUTTER

Cook the spinach leaves in a pan with salted water. Wash them freely with water to remove the sand which they may contain completely. Drain them, press out the moisture and chop them up very fine. Heat some butter in a saucepan, add the chopped spinach, stir them up with a long wooden spoon, adding a little butter. This will work out the moisture. Season them to taste with salt and a little scraped nutmeg. Finish by adding an ounce and a half of fine butter.
