1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt and grit. Drain well.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, allowing it to wilt down. Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
6
Season the Spinach
Once all the spinach is added and wilted (about 3-5 minutes), sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir to combine.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice, stirring to evenly distribute the flavor.
