Heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil , and saute onion until translucent.

Add garlic , and continue cooking until onion just begins to brown around the edges , but garlic is not browning.

Add spinach , with just the water clinging to the leaves , adding by handfuls as the spinach wilts and makes room for more , until all of the spinach is incorporated.

If desired , drain the rendered juices from the pan before continuing.

Season with nutmeg , lemon zest and juice , salt , and pepper , to taste , continuing to toss spinach until it is just wilted , but still bright green.
