1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will cook down significantly.
6
Season the Spinach
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Toss the spinach continuously as it wilts, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until it's tender and bright green.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Once the spinach is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Toss gently to combine.
8
Serve
Transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish and enjoy it warm as a side dish.
