Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the onion.
- Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of currants.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the currants to slightly plump up.
- Add 1 cup of roughly chopped spinach to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and well combined with the onions and garlic, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to ensure even seasoning.

Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the onion and garlic to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the spinach and cream.
- Do not overcook the spinach; it should be wilted and tender, but still bright green to retain its nutrients and flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a bit more heavy whipping cream or cook it down for a few extra minutes.
- Feel free to add some freshly grated nutmeg or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra depth of flavor.
- Serve this dish immediately for the best texture and flavor, but it can also be reheated gently on the stove if necessary.
