Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Spinach

    Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves using a knife or a garlic press.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Add the Spinach

    Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot at first, but it will wilt down significantly.

  4. 6

    Season and Cook

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Remove the sautéed spinach from the skillet and transfer it to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite protein.
