method
1. Sort the spinach, put in a sieve, rinse and drain thoroughly. Tear the leaves into manageable pieces.
2. Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the spinach, a little at a time, turning it in the butter to coat. Season with salt and nutmeg to taste.
3. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, until tender, depending upon the thickness of the spinach leaves.
4. Stir the yogurt into the spinach mixture. Immediately remove the spinach from the heat and transfer to a warmed serving bowl. Add the flaked almonds to the butter remaining in the pan and fry, stirring, until golden.
5. Fold the almonds into the spinach and serve immediately.
