Place the spinach in a colander and pour a kettle of boiling water over it to wilt it, then press firmly with the back of a spoon to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a cutting board and chop finely. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and wring out any remaining moisture — the spinach should be as dry as possible.
