Instructions

  1. Wash the spinach leaves and blanch for 1 - 2 minutes in boiling salted water. Immediately afterwards quench in ice water. Shape the spinach into thumb-sized sausages by hand, squeeze out and place in a shallow bowl. Drizzle everything with lemon juice, sprinkle with the grated or pressed garlic and pour some good olive oil over it. Salt, pepper and sprinkle with a little nutmeg to taste. Let it steep for an hour in the refrigerator. I like the spinach with freshly roasted ciabatta and lots of good olive oil.
