1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt and grit. Shake off excess water.
2
Minimize Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously to ensure the leaves are coated with oil and garlic.
6
Cook the Spinach
Continue to sauté the spinach for about 3-5 minutes, or until it wilts down significantly. The spinach should be bright green and tender.
7
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine well.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the sautéed spinach, giving it a final stir.
