Lemon-Thyme Spinach
This makes for a great dinner side dish recipe you can enjoy year round.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- kosher salt, to taste
- 1 pound fresh spinach, stems removed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, thyme, lemon zest, garlic and a generous pinch of salt and mash with a fork or spoon until well blended.
- Put several large handfuls of the spinach in a large nonstick skillet. Season with a sprinkle of salt. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is mostly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add another few handfuls of spinach and another sprinkle of salt, and continue to cook, tossing until wilted. Repeat until all of the spinach is wilted.
- Turn off the heat, but leave the pan on the burner. Add the butter mixture and toss just until it melts and coats the spinach. Season to taste with salt, as desired, and serve immediately.

Thank you so much for keeping alive recipes from Fine Cooking. I loved that magazine. and still have all my copies. – complete run missing one issue! I wish I could find a comprehensive index to all FC recipes; that would make the magazines so much more useable. And I of course my list of saved or starred recipes was lost when the magazine closed down.
Again my thanks
