Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Set aside to drain.
Step 2
Finely chop the small yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, stirring to wilt the leaves. You may need to do this in batches, allowing each batch to wilt before adding more.
Step 7
Once all the spinach is wilted, pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Stir in the nutritional yeast, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 10
Once the spinach is creamy and heated through, remove from heat and serve immediately.
