2 onions Finely chopped. Sweat on medium heat in 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil.

The 2 kg fresh spinach make around 600g, blanched, and well squeezed until all the liquid goes out. Then chopped. Of course one can use frozen spinach
When onions are done put off the heat and add the spinach.
I add garlic (optional)

But if it is too salty. Cut it in few peices sol it in water 30 mins
