Easy veggie side dish

I stumbled on this last week, and it will now be a recurring player in our household diet.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures.

Shallots
Spinach
Olive Oil
Butter
Wine vinegar

Shallots rock, and if you are not already using them in your kitchen you are seriously missing out.  Dice up a decent sized shallot, and get them shimmering in a pan with some oil and butter (I used both in this case).  You need one of your larger pans for wilting down the spinach...I used a ~10 inch skillet.

Spinach will disappear on you - making this side dish for two people, I started with about 6 cups of loose spinach...maybe 4 big handfuls.  Start feeding the spinach into the pan, stirring it around and into the oily, shalloty mixture...you will probably want to reduce the heat a bit at this point.  Three or four minutes later, that big pile of spinach will have disappeared into maybe one big handful...it's amazing.

Right when you are ready to take the mix out of the pan and split onto your plates, add a spash - just a bit - of the vinegar (Balsamic or red wine vinegar) and eat that stuff down.
