1
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
2
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the spinach leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin dry or pat with a clean kitchen towel.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, stirring it gently to coat it in the garlic and oil.
6
Cook the Spinach
Continue to sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes, or until it is wilted and tender. If necessary, add the spinach in batches to allow it to fit in the skillet.
7
Season the Spinach
Once the spinach is wilted, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach before serving.
