Blanch fresh spinach in a pan for about 1 minute, stirring with a spatula.

Transfer blanched spinach to a bowl and let cool for 1 minute before squeezing out excess water.

In the same pan, add cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Add diced onions and cook over medium heat until translucent.

Add black pepper, nutmeg, and a seasoning cube to the onions and stir together.

Add the blanched spinach to the pan and mix with the spices.

Add more salt to taste, considering the seasoning cube has salt.

Cook for 1 more minute before removing from heat.
